Your journey begins in the vibrant town of Loulé, one of the Algarve's richest cultural treasures. Visit the remarkable Islamic Baths, one of the best-preserved examples of Moorish heritage in Portugal, before discovering Casa da Empreita, where local artisans keep centuries-old handicraft traditions alive.
