After visiting the castle we headed to the typical village of Paderne. Here the guests had the opportunity to explore the small village. Use the toilet or possibly drink or eat something in local establishments (not included). With more than seven centuries of history, Paderne is situated inland of the municipality of Albufeira. The old village was located within the walls of its castle. Having been ruined after the 1755 earthquake, it has gradually been moved northwards, about 2 km away from the castle, where it is currently located. Paderne is a typical village of the Algarve Barrocal, which despite being only 12 km from the coast, strongly maintains its traditions and customs. With traces of an inland village, Worth visiting, the wealth produced in the village in its heydays, has left architectural marks that time insists/refuses on erasing, as witnessed by the large farmhouses, located both in the village's urban area, and in the hills that surround it.
