Discover the idyllic village of Burgau, located in the south-west of Portugal's Algarve. Here, it seems as if time has stood still and you will experience what authentic Portugal looks like. In high season, the beach can feel crowded, but come during April/May or October and discover the tranquillity of this village while you can still soak up the sun.
Here you can see Praia do Burgau from above, one of my favourite beaches to surf once the south coast surf season starts.
You will find several restaurants in the village, but only one of them directly on the beach. In high season, you can also rent sunbeds with an umbrella there, which you see in the picture.
What I love about this photo is the different colours of the sand as it flows into the sea. Also, the morning light adds some extra magic.

Besides photography, I run a small online travel company which can be found at: https://www.dealgarve.nl.. Read more…
