Overview
Explore the Flavors and Sights of Silves and Monchique Mountains! The municipality of Silves is renowned for its citrus production and high-quality oranges.
The day begins with a visit to a local orange grove. Learn about the history of the family that is intertwined with the history of this orange grove up to the present day. The visit includes picking fresh oranges and tasting orange juice and orange jam.
We then continue our journey to Silves, the old capital of the Algarve. Enjoy free time to visit the Moorish Castle, considered the finest military monument from the Islamic period in Portugal, and the Gothic Cathedral (entry fees not included).
On the way to the mountains, we stop for lunch in a typical restaurant.
