Aldeia Bica do Covão is located on a peninsula stretching out into the Atlantic just 35 Km south of Lisbon in the traditional Portuguese village town of Alfarim/Meco – a destination of choice by local Lisbon holiday makers avoiding the crowds of the Algarve. Located within 8 Km from Arrábida National Park, it is only 1000 meters to nearest beach, 2000meters to Lagoon of Albufeira, and Lisbon airport is 30 minutes by car. The village of Alfarim/Meco includes several excellent restaurants, bars, discotheques, convenience stores, butchers, bakeries and fish stands all within walking distance. Public bus service is available right from the complex gate to some local beaches and larger towns in the area. The peninsula includes access to a variety of beaches and beach activities. Beach types range from long sandy dunes with roaring ocean waves to secluded patches of sand with still, peaceful waters, from family oriented settings to nudist enclaves.
