Among lesser-known Portugal coastal towns, Porto Covo may be the country’s best-kept secret.
This charming fishing village in the Alentejo region offers whitewashed houses, quiet streets, hidden coves, and some of Portugal’s most stunning beaches. The pace of life here is wonderfully slow.
Locals seem to have mastered the art of enjoying life without rushing anywhere. Visitors quickly find themselves adopting the same philosophy after a long seafood lunch and a lazy afternoon overlooking the ocean.
