The little towns of Mexilhoeira Grande and Odiaxere are just around the corner, and each has small supermarkets and restaurants to cater to your needs when you want to avoid the bigger towns. The chicken restaurant and the pizzeria on the main street of Odiaxere are famous takeaway places in the area. For a truly local restaurant experience nearby, go to A Curva in Mexilhoeira Grande. The nearest big supermarket is located in Torre's brand new shopping area, between Odiaxere and Lagos.
