This well-loved region indisputably has an enduring charm, thanks in large part to its world-famous beaches (all 150 of them) calling everyone from avid surfers to a toddling sandcastle architect. It’s worth taking some time away from the beaches though, uncovering secrets like the more authentic Portuguese east or the surprising residents on Ria Formosa Nature Reserve – flamingos.
