Location:
Melides is a portuguese parish in the municipality of Grandola, an area of approximately 155.2 km2, the parish of Melides, located in the coastal strip, 5 kms from the Atlantic Ocean and in the vicinity of the lagoon of the same name.
From the point of view of the relief presents two distinct zones: on the coast dominated the heaths, of reduced fertility, occupied by pine forests and eucaliptals, and cut by two floodplains of agricultural appetite - Fontainhas and, especially, the floodplain of Melides, where the cultivation of rice abounds; - in the rest of the area the mountain is predominant, occupied by cork mounted and some pine forest, especially meek.
Melides Beach is located in the long strip of sand that makes the separation between the sea and the Melides Lagoon. Here will have shipwrecked the adventurer Portuguese the sixteenth century, Fernao Mendes Pinto, when he was attacked by corsicanries. His adventures were recorded in the work 'Pilgrimage'
Walking the 4 kms of the road that gives access to the beach, through pine forests and rice pads, you reach Melides, typical Alentejo village, with white houses and quiet streets that is well worth a visit.
The village of Melides must have emerged as a small cluster of fishermen/farmers who gradually concentrated their previously dispersed dwellings. The economic connection of these to the bar seems undoubted to us and the first oracle, Holy Navy, is proof of this.
Its toponym may originate from the Latin militi (military) and, as a curiosity, there is mention of the existence of two villages called Melide, one in Spain, Galicia, and another in Switzerland, next to Lake Lugano.
Within the scope of the heritage are advised the following visits: old urban nucleus of the village, where you can see some buildings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with balcony windows and wrought iron balconies; ruins of the Church of Santa Marinha (late 19th century). XV - beginnings of the XVI), where are still visible botareus of unusual dimension; church of St. Peter (20th century. XVII - XVIII) that preserves elements of interest such as the vaulted ceiling of the chancel, a stone lavatory, in the sacristy, boasting the cross of the Order of Santiago and imaginary coeva; the pottery of Master Chico, being worthy of register the oven of typically Roman characteristics; molinological set of Boavista (windmills), from which you enjoy a vast landscape; fountain of the Eyes with a lunch park. It is a copious spring that supplies water to the village and part of the parish, and its surroundings are very pleasant.
After Comporta, Melides is the new destination sensation in Alentejo thanks to its deserted beaches, cork-mounted, days of silence and several new charming hotels...
It's not really a hidden secret anymore. In recent years, there have been several articles in the national and international press about Melides. After comporta's success, which the Financial Times even described as 'the Hamptons of Portugal', it seems that the focus is now redirected a little further south, towards Melides. The celebrated shoe designer, Christian Louboutin, was only the first. With houses around the world, including a castle in France, an apartment in LA and a mansion in Lisbon, the designer swapped Comporta for Melides about six years ago, and his on-site hotel (long-advertised) is already under construction.
Melides presents a set of almost secret refuges, where there is no lack of comfort, elegance and sophistication... And there are several dream homes that the mounted and the pine forest hide. This is the case of the Italian Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano (she sold the Cinzano empire in 1999 to the Campari group and has since been a producer of organic wines in Argentina and Italy), who has built here a holiday retreat already photographed by AD-Architectural Digest North American. The same can be said of belgian architect and designer Vincent Van Duysen, who designed and built an iconic house here, and who has also been entitled to reporting in the New York Times.
The beaches
The municipality of Grandola has the largest stretch of beach in the country, so those who arrive here have plenty to choose from. In addition to the most popular beaches of Troia, Comporta, Carvalhal and Pego, in the Melides region, the best known is Melides Beach, an extensive sandy beach with beach support.
In the vicinity of the beach is the Melides Lagoon that extends to the village through extensive rice pads and small islands where the richness of flora and fauna ensure activities such as bird watching, canoeing or walking.
It follows The New Open Beach, with access from EN 261-2 through a path partially on dirt, covered by pine forests.
Almost always empty, Gale Beach is the lady that follows. A secret that begins to unravel. As well as Praia da Vigia, another paradise, with access by a sandy road with about 5km. By the way, it is worth saying out of curiosity that it is in this area that Christian Louboutin has the house...
