Algarve Unlocked

Currently Playing: BENSAFRIM: Lagos’ Forgotten Neighbour

Discover Bensafrim, Algarve – a hidden inland town just 15 minutes from Lagos with under 1,000 residents but a history and lifestyle that will surprise you. At one end of the Ribeira de Bensafrim, tourists sip cocktails in Lagos marina. At the other, farmers relax with a cold Super Bock in this traditional valley village. In this video we explore: - Why Bensafrim was once a vital crossroads to Monchique and Aljezur - How the town became a satellite for Lagos workers while keeping its rural charm - The story of São Bartolomeu, the town’s patron saint and protector - The Via Algarviana hiking trail, which ends its gruelling 30km Stage 12 right here in Bensafrim Everyday life: cafés, schools, supermarkets, restaurants (don’t miss Chefe Rio!), and the Mercado Nearby highlights including the Barragem da Bravura dam and the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve (Portimão Race Track) Whether you’re planning a trip, dreaming of moving to Portugal, or just curious about life beyond the Algarve’s beaches, Bensafrim shows you the real Portugal that tourists often miss. 👉 Search “Algarve Addicts + town name” here on YouTube or Google and you’ll find my other Algarve town guides. 👉 Ready to relocate?
