The Arco de Albandeira is a beautiful 16th century arch located in Porches, Portugal. It is surrounded by orange and almond tree plantations, making it a great photo opportunity all year round. There are two sides to the arch: one of which looks towards the sea and has a nearby beach bar, while the other side is surrounded by orange groves and rolling hills. The arch is made up of two tall white columns and a curved stone arch, making for a beautiful and unique image. And for a truly unique experience, take a walk up the hill to the nearby Chapel of Nossa Senhora das Esfelas. The chapel is situated atop a hill, with beautiful views of the arch and the surrounding countryside.
