Book Now! Holidays in Alcantarilha

All inclusive Alcantarilha holidays are set in the beautiful Algarve in the south coast of Portugal. You will find Alcantarilha in the centre of the Algarve. All inclusive Alcantarilha holidays are near the town of Porches that leads on to the popular holiday hotspot of Lagoa.

One of the main draws on Alcantarilha holidays is the eerie bone chapel. You will find this adjoining the side of the local parish. The disturbing bone chapel is made up of the remains of 1500 parishioners and was once a part of the larger church beside it. The Great Earthquake destroyed most of the rest of the parish church but you can still look inside the bone chapel and see the tightly packed yellowing bones gleaming in the bright holiday sun. The only items in the chapel that aren’t made from bone are the painted stone steps to the alter of the wooden effigy of Jesus on the cross. If you are the fan of the gruesome side of history Alcantarilha holidays may be for you!

Apart from its macabre bone chapel, all inclusive Alcantarilha holidays offer all the typical elements of a rural hilltop village near the Algarve. The traditional feel of Portugal reigns here over the more tourist orientated attractions. Expect to see old figures in the village sitting outside the local cafes putting the world to rights or farmers moving their sheep across the road into the next field. Nightlife here is low key on all inclusive Alcantarilha holidays with foreign visitors making the most of an evening meal washed down with a glass of red.
