Lagos and Cape St. Vincent
1 / 3
This half-day excursion allows us to experience the southwest of the Algarve as we follow the coast to Lagos and become immersed in the city’s walled Old Town and expansive Atlantic beaches. We’ll also find out more about the 16th century European slave trade and pay a visit to the golden baroque interior of St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church. From Lagos we’ll continue our journey south-westwards as we head to the preserved fishing port of Sagres. Some of the views out to sea are captivating and it’s from here that we reach the ‘End of the World’ at Europe’s most south-westerly point, Cape St. Vincent.
Traditional Algarve
1 / 3
This excursion lets you experience the real Algarve: beautiful landscapes, remote villages, and local customs. We'll stop in Loulé to explore the historic old town and see traditional Algarvian basket weaving with palm leaves ("empreita"). Visit the market for fresh products and enjoy the peaceful countryside. We'll continue along the mountain range, visiting the villages of Querença, Salir (archaeological museum), and Barranco do Velho (distillery). Then, we'll visit Alte, the most picturesque village in the Algarve, to enjoy a meal (not included) and its charming traditions. Don't forget your camera!
Eastern Algarve
1 / 3
Starting in Faro, capital of the Algarve, today’s tour explores the sandy beaches and traditional fishing ports of the eastern coast. Discover Faro’s 13th-century Old Town and the whitewashed Moorish city of Olhão before continuing to Tavira, on the edge of Ria Formosa Natural Park, where salt pans and tidal lagoons attract flamingos. Cross the Gilão River to Cacela Velha for its beaches and shallow lagoons, then continue to Vila Real de Santo António, set on the Guadiana River by the Spanish border, where the tour concludes.
