When you stroll through the cobbled streets of Lisbon or gaze out at the Atlantic from the Algarve's dramatic cliffs, you're standing on the shores of a nation that once led the world into uncharted waters.
Salema sits on Portugal's southwestern coast like a keeper of secrets - its colourful boats drawn up on golden sand, its whitewashed houses climbing the hillside as they have for centuries.
Salema beach is a pristine gem that has earned the prestigious Blue Flag award - an internationally recognised symbol of excellence in water quality, environmental management and beach safety.
