 In the west, the civil parish of São João Batista de Almancil and portion of the neighbouring territory of São Clemente was integrated into the new Almancil.Due to an influx of tourism into the Algarve, the resident population of the parish expanded, resulting in the 18 December 1987 elevation of the parish to category of town.Almancil is located along the south-eastern coastline of the municipality of Loulé, fronting the civil parishes of Quarteira and São Clemente (in the municipality of Loulé) and Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Faro (Sé e São Pedro) and Montenegro (in the municipality of Faro).
