About this place
Monte Gordo is a different kind of place than any other in the Eastern Algarve. It is not known for its authenticity but for its seaside resort with a large boulevard, souvenir shops and a lot of tourism. The kilometre-long beach that is directly accessible (no boat required) is quite a picture, and it is striking that there are many large and beautiful shells to be found.
And what else?
If you have been in Portugal for a while and secretly fancy a croquette sandwich, you can get it here ;-)
