Years ago we discovered Santa-Luzia and found it to be an authentic, friendly small fishing village.
Walking along the boulevard on the river bank we feel that time slows down here to a peaceful rhythm.
It´s easy to enjoy simple things like a nice coffee in the morning on one of the plenty sunny terraces watching the fisherman going out to sea. Or sipping a nice wine on a peaceful evening while the aquatic birds fly once more over the lagoon to find their resting ground for the night.
This particular region of the east Algarve is known as the Polvo coast, the coast of the octopus, for most of
the octopus caught in the Algarve comes from Santa-Lucia.The restaurants along the boulevard all have their own recipes for delicious octopus dishes.
The overall genuine atmosphere of the place made us decide to buy an apartment for tourist rental and,eventually, our own old age.
