Bensafrim, a small Algarve village, is rich in history and local traditions. According to my explorations, here are some key points to consider:

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