Praia do Galé: The Hidden Gem of the Algarve

2023 is already ending and 2024 is knocking on our door. It is time to make plans and decide your next vacation dreamy destination. As always, Algarve is one of the most wished ones and Gabi Miguel is here to help you.

Do you already know the Galé Beach? Although the Golden Triangle is one of the most renowned destinations in the Algarve, Albufeira is the place to find the most beautiful beaches and Galé Beach highlights among all options.

See below the text written by Visit Portugal and have an idea of what is waiting for you.

Praia da Galé forms the eastern end of the wide sandy bay of Armação de Pêra and Albufeira. On this beach, the rock formations characteristic of the western Algarve emerge again from the sand, providing nooks and shelters for bathers, especially in the eastern section, with the western sector being more exposed. These warm-coloured carbonate rocks, very rich in marine fossils, also called shells, bear witness to a past time when sea levels were further inland. Currently, they are heavily sculpted by rainwater and polished by the sea, covered by plants adapted to salsuge, such as soybean. In areas where sand accumulates, mainly in the western sector, typical dune plants can still be seen, especially the estorno, the clove-of-the-sand and the aromatic perpetual-of-the-areas, in the continuity of the dune system of Salgados and from Praia Grande. To the east, rock formations dominate and an area of stone pine crowns the orange cliff.

Praia dos Salgados

When you go on vacation, in addition to booking your plane ticket and choosing your accommodation, knowing the destination is very important. Making the wrong choices can ruin your planning and, therefore, Gabi MIguel decided to bring you weekly beach tips so you can get to know them a little more and make the best decision regarding your vacation. This week, we will tell you about Praia dos Salgados.

The beach appears in the continuation of the Praia Grande sand, to the east of the Salgados lagoon, a wetland that forms in the terminal section of the Espiche river.

To get to the beach, go through the tourist development associated with the golf course that runs alongside the lagoon, going down an avenue lined with tall palm trees.

The area surrounding the beach remains in a natural state: to the west, you can see the robust dunes of Praia Grande and the lagoon’s water mirror bordered by dense vegetation and where you can see mainly coots and, in winter, cormorants fishing; To the east, the dune fields dominate, more modest in height, but equally rich in flora and fauna.

The sand is wide and has quiet stretches; an extensive network of walkways rises over the mouth of the river and over the dunes, providing long walks both to the west, crossing the Salgados lagoon, and to the east, to Galé.

Albufeira: a bustling city amid the Algarvian tranquillity

Looking for a place to soak in the sun and make beautiful memories? Then Albufeira is the right place for you.

Albufeira city was called the “castle of the sea” by the Arabs (Al-Buhera, 8th-century designation), standing proudly in an amphitheatre-like fashion overlooking the sea. From the Arab period, narrow alleys, the old castle, and the very white houses with their battlements and arches have endured.

From the long-standing fishing village with a thriving fish export industry, the sheltered harbour remains near Albufeira’s marina, with its colourful artisanal fishing boats sharing the space with vessels dedicated to coastal sea excursions and visits to fabulous sea caves. Currently, Albufeira and its municipality are recognized as one of the country’s main tourist centres, offering almost 30 km of coastline and over two dozen highly diverse beaches, both in terms of natural surroundings and tourist facilities.

Although tourist amenities and nightlife are among the most renowned in the Algarve, they coexist with another reality: that of tranquil villages where traditional crafts like tilework, carved copper, or esparto tapestry still thrive, surrounded by dry orchards with blooming almond trees.

So what are you waiting for? Schedule a visit to Albufeira and stay in a Gabi Miguel villa to guarantee an unforgettable experience. Book now.
