Praia de Sao Rafael
Located just a few kilometres from the well known resort of Albufeira is the picturesque and wonderful beach of Praia de Sao Rafael in the central part of the Algarve, Portugal.

The beach consists of fine golden sand and is backed up by the towering limestone cliffs of which over years of erosion have left some spectacular rock formations.
