Photography destination: São Brás de Alportel
My new home village of São Brás de Alportel is a quiet refuge from the popular beach destinations of the Algarve. This village still enables an unhurried lifestyle and destination throughout the year with a friendly local population.
As a photography destination, São Brás de Alportel is a typical Algarve town with a small but beautiful old village center. This makes the village a great and easy to navigate destination to photograph the typical tiled houses, ornate stonework, cast iron verandas and cobbled roads that the Algarve is famous for. Not only great for capturing street photography, but also as a setting for wedding photography, portraits and editorial photoshoots. Highlights are the Igreja Matriz De São Brás de Alportel, the baroque mortar decoration of the Passo da Paixão, the Cineteatro, the central square and the Museo de Traje. São Brás de Alportel is not only a typical Algarve village, hidden throughout the village are also some great street art pieces which give a vibrant contrast.
