Great place to enjoy the landscape

A lovely mixture of old and new, with modern hotels, apartments and a sandy beach that stretches for miles in one direction reaching out from a gem of an old town, one side precariously perched on the cliffs with an imposing monolithic elevator and steep snaking footpath linking it to the beach below, with narrow and in some cases steep streets and alleys that can only be negotiated by foot all in someway linked or leading to an open square surrounded by traditional buildings and architecture, the streets lined with small shops, bars and cafés, the people seemed friendly and welcoming this coupled to a relaxed atmosphere made for a very enjoyable visit.

Praia do Túnel houses a huge sandstone rock. Probably and in terms of image, the most popular geologic natural monument and landmark in the Algarve region of Portugal. Created by the power of nature and the sea. There is a viewing deck next to Peneco Rock. Called Elevador do Peneco. Access from sea level to the top by an electric lift. It has an elevation of 92 ft a.s.l. April 2012 was very warm. However, it was not yet the full tourist season. The beach was empty but very atmospheric. Nice place to visit.
