What to expect

In this tour, you'll travel through time to discover the history of the Algarve.

You'll start the day driving to Silves, visit its Castle - a real must-see - and the Silves Cathedral, a unique place full of ancient pieces that reveal the history of the region. You'll then proceed onward to Fóia, the highest point in the Algarve region and of the Monchique mountain trail, in all its 902 meters of height. In the next stop, you'll visit Cabo São Vicente in Sagres, the Southwestern end of Continental Europe, and you'll admire the Fortaleza de Sagres, an essential military monument in the time of the discoveries.

You'll have spare time for lunch here, before moving to Lagos, where you will visit the city center. The last stop will be Ponta da Piedade, to contemplate the outstanding rock formations on top of the Atlantic Ocean.
