  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Travellers visiting Marmelete will experience a small typical Portuguese village and learn about this charming village's unique heritage. Located in the Serra de Monchique, Algarve, Marmelete is steeped in history, including the local legend of its founding by a shipwrecked captain and his crew.
  
  Traditional practices include cork harvesting, beekeeping, and the production of honey, wax, and medronho, a local spirit made from the Medronho tree's berries. The village is also known for its Black Iberian pig and other local delicacies.
  
  Marmelete is a great place for hiking, offering scenic trails and breathtaking views. The village occasionally hosts fun celebrations, including the Chestnut Festival, the 1st of May hike and pig roast, the Sardine Festival, the Handicraft Festival and more. A Motorhome Park is also soon opening nearby, featuring a large amphitheater and a public swimming pool, adding even more recreational opportunities to the area.
  
  Our place is within walking distance from the village, allowing easy access to these events, restaurants, a small supermarket and daily interactions with the village community.
  
  It is conveniently located near Aljezur (15-minute drive), Monchique (30-minute drive), and Portimão (40-minute drive), making it easy to explore the surrounding areas and the beauty of the Algarvian beaches.
