Overview

The day begins with a visit to the former Moorish capital of the Algarve, the city of Silves, with its picturesque Castle on top of the hill overlooking the river and the Roman Bridge. On the way to the highest point in the Algarve, Foia (with 902m altitude), we will stop to visit the small village of Caldas de Monchique with its famous spa, whose waters have been recognized since Roman times for their healing properties. In Foia, we will taste the typical liqueurs of the region followed by lunch in a typical restaurant in the Serra de Monchique where you can enjoy a traditional Algarve meal. The afternoon begins with a visit to Lagos, a city that has always been linked to the sea, where the Portuguese Discoveries started in the 15th century. Ponta da Piedade, known for its impressive rock formations. We end the day in Sagres where we will have the opportunity to see the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean, from Cabo de São Vicente, also known in the past as the "End of the World".
