Gruta do Xorino

At the western end of Praia do Peneco, Gruta do Xorino offers a glimpse into Albufeira’s rich history. This small cave is believed to have served as a hiding place for the Moors during the Christian conquest of Albufeira in the 13th century. Nestled along the beach, the cave lacks signage but remains an intriguing site for visitors. Today, it stands as a quiet, unassuming addition to the bustling and popular beach, inviting curious travelers to explore its historical significance.
