Portugal home to two of Europe’s top hidden gems

  • 31 May, 22

The listing, which aims to compile hidden treasures away from the crowds of major destinations, has listed two Portuguese places to discover. Find them before they become a trend.

One of them is Ilha do Farol, which was ranked 19th of the best-hidden gems by European Best Destinations. This is a beautiful place, little explored by man and amazing from a beach point of view. It looks like a big piece of sand lost in paradise. Something you won’t want to miss.

Accessible by boat, this little-known island is easy to cross several times a day at an affordable price from Olhão. It is a great place to spend a week and recharge your batteries.

Two places below, in 21st place, is Sesimbra. Sesimbra, which is a village near Setúbal, has a beach that brings something even more special, as it has already been awarded as the most inclusive beach in Portugal – where everyone has a space. As such, people with young children in strollers and people with reduced mobility are very welcome at Ouro Beach.
