Surf the Sagres Wave

Aldeia da Pedralva invites you to discover the “Other Algarve”. A different view from the remaining mass market destinations where the (few) locals are valued and involved in your experience. This completely rebuilt rural village after a painful process of desertification, allows you to experience the daily life of a community of authentic and traditional Portuguese villagers.

Do not trust however the quiet municipality of Vale do Bispo (where you find your accommodation) and contrast it with the salty agitation of the Amado beach area, where Amado Surf School will be happy to welcome you for morning surfing lessons. It cannot get much better: the Amado Beach, in Carrapateira, is well known for its excellent conditions for surfing, being one of the best spots to improve your technique and attracting surfers from all over the world, rewarding them with a consistent and varied wave, with rights and lefts. In addition, the Amado Surf School is one of the most prestigious schools of Surf in Algarve, with the teachings and experience instructors certified by the Portuguese Surfing Federation!

In the afternoon, get in the car and discover the south coast of Portugal! Scroll down to the fortress of Sagres and enjoy the Atlantic horizon. Witness the tradition of Cabo de São Vicente, located in the extreme southwest of continental Portugal, from where it was sighted the vessel with the body of Lisbon patron saint, in the Promontorium Sacrum (as the local is known). In the vessel, according to legend, a crow on each side of the watercraft paid homage to Vincente de Fora, killed and sent by the Moors to Portugal through the Sea. This image inspired the design of the escutcheon of the country’s Capital, and the body was taken to Lisbon, as an order of El Rey, D. Afonso Henriques (the first king of Portugal kingdom).

We guarantee total freedom and stand for the self-discovery, so we ideated the private car hire and the possibility of using the Surf equipment actually after class, in the beach where you are. The Sun is waiting for you!
