Sagres, Cape St. Vincent & Silves Trip

After picking you up from your hotel between 8:30 am and 9 am, we'll embark on a route through some of the Algarve's picturesque areas.

First, we'll stop in Silves to see its imposing Arab castle, considered the best preserved in the country. Then we'll head to the cathedral, a gothic temple built upon the site of an old mosque.

We’ll continue our journey through the Serra de Monchique, a mountain range with green slopes full of cork trees and eucalyptus groves. We'll ascend to the highest point, Foiá, from which you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and the Atlantic Ocean in the distance.

Afterward, we'll stop in the Portuguese parish of Marmelete for a traditional lunch. With our stomachs satiated, we'll move on to the beaches of the Costa Vicentina, where we'll enjoy views and take pictures of its colossal cliffs.
