Description

Explore the authentic side of the Algarve, far from the well-known coastal areas, revealing a region where nature, tradition, and tranquillity still set the pace of everyday life. Travel through the impressive Serra do Caldeirão, a landscape of rolling hills, Mediterranean vegetation, and small villages that seem beautifully untouched by time. Stop at a cork factory, where you’ll be introduced to the history and craftsmanship behind one of the Algarve’s most iconic products. Witness the transformation of cork, understand the importance of the cork oak tree, and appreciate the dedication of those who keep this traditional craft alive. Continue to the serene Fonte Férrea Park, a natural haven where the shade of the trees and the gentle sound of running water create the perfect setting for a relaxing walk. Among the scents of rockrose, rosemary, and strawberry tree, experience a genuine connection with Algarve’s nature — a place where the bond between the land and local culture becomes almost tangible. Conclude with a visit to the Medronho Distillery, where you’ll discover the origins of this traditional spirit. Learn about the artisanal distillation process, along with the centuries-old significance of medronho production in the mountain communities.
