Algarve Tourism - Alcoutim City
Impressions of Alcoutim that cannot fail to attract visitors, inviting them to move about aimlessly on its streets or while away a peaceful hour or two on an esplanade by the water's edge.
Historical centre :
Alcoutims steep and narrow streets retain much of the calm atmosphere typical of an Algarve hill town. A few minutes walk is enough to discover simple single-storey houses hundreds of years old and the tall white walls of the Misericordia (Mercy) church. To finish off, stroll down to the simple hermitage of Santo Antonio (St. Anthony), the former residence of the Counts of Alcoutim. Afterwards enjoy a moments rest in the company of a cool drink on an esplanada by the waters edge, and take in the sight of fishing boats returning with their catch, sailing yachts anchored in the little marina, and the Spanish town of Sao Lucas on the far shore.
Hermitage of Nossa Senhora da Conceicao :
(Our Lady of the Conception) All that remains of the Manueline church (16th century) that replaced the original Gothic structure is the porch. The current building dates from the 18th century. An interesting decorated baroque stairway gives access to a spacious atrium which offers a magnificent view over the town and the surrounding fields. Together, the limewashed walls the round cupola of the main altar and the bell over the porch, guarded by storks neat make up a typical Algarve picture. The gilded and carved retable of main altar (18th century) and sculptures, most notably that of patron saint, make the hermitage worth a visit.
