The beauty of its beach and its safe, uninhabited waters attracted the first foreign tourists in the 1960s, giving it a pioneering role in the development of Algarve tourism. Today, Monte Gordo is an international tourist center, with a casino among its many amenities. (Source: Wikipedia)

The Vila Real de Santo António Lighthouse (Farol de Vila Real de Santo António) is located in the far east of the Algarve, near the Spanish border. Built in 1923, it stands 40 meters tall.

It is a striking landmark in a flat coastal landscape and is sometimes open to the public on special days.

An important natural product is extracted from the sea's saltwater here. Only through the power of the elements, sun and wind, which evaporate the water in the saltworks' shallow basins, does pure salt remain. Even today, you won't find a kitchen without salt to season dishes. But in earlier times, it had an additional significance: It was important for preserving food—making it so precious that salt was called "white gold."
