 Introduction to Quarteira
Another once upon a time small fishing village that has grown since
the 1960s into a major tourist location. Tall blocks of holiday
apartments now dwarf the older area of the town. As it lies next door
to the well-known and popular Vilamoura holiday resort it acts
as a dormitory location for the many employees and companies involved
in this trade. However, it also enjoys its own loyal tourists who
return annually to make use of its long open beach and promenade. A
little to the east of the town is Fonte Santa where a natural
spring is said to have healing qualities. Reasonably close to
Quarteira is the inland town of Almancil that is also a
centre for service companies. The administrative town of the area is
Loulé.
