Barão de São João is one of the most typical rural villages in the municipality of Lagos and has an area of 51.75 km². It is the most eloquent expression of a medieval period that lasted until the restoration of the parish in 1933. The village of São João Batista enriched its real estate holdings with vast economic domains that extended to Budens, Barão de São Miguel, Almádena, etc. These socio-economic areas encompassed the then parish of Barão de São João, which, under a noble title, formed the basis of the village of São João Batista. It was in the 15th century, during the reign of King Afonso V, that the noble title appeared in Portugal; thus, the Algarve would come to know this title at a later date than 1475. However, it was only in the 17th century that the village of São João Batista received the noble title. At that time, Barão de São João already possessed several Confraternities and Stewardships. Barão de São João evolved regressively and reached the beginning of the 20th century with a deficit situation in terms of inhabitants and economic resources. Integrated into a contemporary society through its rural character, Barão de São João includes a National Forest and a church typically set in the 17th century where notable religious elements dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, among others, are present.

In the heart of the Barão de São João Forest stretches a large expanse of stone pine, perhaps the largest in the Algarve, where the air smells of resin and tranquility. A refuge for wildlife and a paradise for hikers, this forest hosts both the Pedra do Galo trail and the Grande Rota da Via Algarviana, inviting passersby to take leisurely breaks and enjoy picnics in the shade.

Barão de São João is a village full of soul and creativity, where time seems to slow down. Between a welcoming grocery store, a friendly snack bar, and the main church, it's worth exploring the streets brimming with art: sculptures, murals, and colors that reflect the energy of a community made up of people from all over the world.
