Workation in Praia da Luz: the essentials
Luz, as the parish is officially called, began as a fishing village on the western Algarve and was reshaped by holiday-villa complexes. About 3,500 people lived in the parish in 2011, settled around a sandy bay with the dark headland of Rocha Negra at one end. British residents have long set the tone, with pubs and a church offering English services, and the result feels quiet and suburban. Many villas stand empty in winter. Lagos, a short drive or bus ride east, has more going on, and the coastal path runs west to Burgau. Faro Airport is about 70 km away.
