Car Hire in Aljezur Center

Rent a car in Aljezur and get the freedom to explore Costa Vicentina's wild Atlantic coast in southwestern Portugal. Aljezur is the gateway to Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina, one of Europe's best-preserved coastal landscapes. With a car, you can reach remote surf beaches that are otherwise difficult to access.

Aljezur is 75 km northwest of Lagos and 50 km from Portimão. The village is known for its medieval ruins and local sweet potato (batata-doce de Aljezur) with protected designation of origin. Arrifana Beach is 10 km west and Praia da Amoreira just 5 km away.

The roads west toward the coast are narrow and winding – choose a compact car if you want to visit the beaches. Fill up with fuel in Aljezur center before heading out to the coast where gas stations are scarce. Visit Odeceixe, 20 km north, for one of the Algarve coast's most beautiful beaches.
