Description

Step into the heart of the Algarve on a full-day adventure that blends rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and authentic local charm! Your journey begins in Silves, a scenic town once known as Xelb, the Moorish capital of the Algarve. Its hilltop castle stands as a striking reminder of Islamic rule. Head to Lagos, a coastal gem steeped in maritime legacy. This vibrant town played a pivotal role in the Age of Discovery, and its streets echo with tales of explorers and kings. Discover key landmarks such as: The statue of Prince Henry; The historic slave market; The golden Church of St. Anthony; The statue of King Sebastian, a figure of national legend. Enjoy free time to savor local cuisine (lunch not included), browse charming shops, or simply soak in the lively atmosphere of the town center. Marvel at the natural beauty of Ponta da Piedade, where the sea has sculpted the cliffs into a breathtaking display of arches, grottoes, and sea caves. A short walk leads you to panoramic views that capture the raw elegance of the Algarve coastline. As the day draws to a close, stand at the edge of the continent at Cape St. Vincent, famously known as “The End of the World.” Here, towering cliffs meet the vast Atlantic in a dramatic display of raw beauty. Feel the power of the ocean and the serenity of the horizon in one of Europe’s most iconic coastal settings.
