Fábrica Village and Beach

Highlight • Beach

Fabrica is a quiet, forgotten, charming little village, a former brickworks. However, you can no longer see anything of it, as a large house was built over the old brickworks. Only the foundations can be partially viewed. Above the village you have a fantastic view over the Ria Farmosa to the sea. This small village is beautiful and very idyllic!

Cacela Velha Beach and Fábrica

Highlight • Beach

To reach this beach, you first cross an old village. The sun and salt have burned the history of this place into the clay of the houses. If you are in no hurry, you should look around here. Walk past fragrant orchards and make a detour to Fort Forte D. Paio Peres Correia. From here, a magnificent panorama opens up.

Only a narrow river separates you from the Praia de Cacela Velha. Either you pass a long beach or wade through a lagoon. Also a water taxi will bring you from the coastal town of Fabrica here. Far to the east of Ilha de Cabanas, Praia is waiting for you.

Enter a narrow promontory of fine sand. The Praia de Cacela Velha is never the same. The play of the sea and the wind constantly changes the shape of this beach. Listen to the wind that blows through the dune landscape and bathe in the clear blue water.

Explore the lagoons that form at low tide or seek shells that are washed up. Here you are absolutely undisturbed. Think of provisions as you make your way here. Because here there is nothing but fine sand and the waves of the sea.

The landscape is part of the Ria Farmosa. The Chameleon Trail also leads right past this charming little village. So always be careful 🤗
