Answer
Bensafrim, a small Algarve village, is rich in history and local traditions. According to my explorations, here are some key points to consider:
- Bensafrim's connection to St. Bartholomew reveals layers of history that most people never discover.
- The town was once a vital crossroads to Monchique and Aljezur.
- Despite being a satellite for Lagos workers, it has managed to retain its rural charm.
- The town's patron saint and protector is São Bartolomeu.
- The Via Algarviana hiking trail ends its gruelling 30km Stage 12 right here in Bensafrim.
- Don't miss out on the local cafés, schools, supermarkets, restaurants (especially Chefe Rio!), and the Mercado.
- Nearby highlights include the Barragem da Bravura dam and the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve (Portimão Race Track).
