Budens
An inland village and parish in Vila do Bispo whose territory reaches the coast at Burgau, Salema and Boca do Rio.
Budens is a small village a little inland from the south coast, and the seat of a parish in the Vila do Bispo municipality that lies within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. Nearby Figueira is another settlement in the parish.
The parish takes in a stretch of coastline including Burgau and Salema. At Boca do Rio there are remains of a Roman-era settlement and an old fort above the beach, and the parish also has the prehistoric site of Vale Boi. Budens itself is quiet and practical, useful as a base for the nearby beaches.
