Additional Information

Upon being picked up from your lodging in Albufeira, you’ll commence a day exploring the medieval Silves Castle. Besides the castle, marvel at the statue of King Sancho I, found at the castle’s entrance. This significant figure hails from the era of the Christian Reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula, led by the Portuguese King D. Sancho.

Afterwards, indulge in the breathtaking sights of Ponta da Piedade, Lagos, Praia da Rocha, and beyond, ensuring you savour the unparalleled views en route. There’s also the option to embark on a boat trip at Ponta da Pieda.

The stunning coastline of limestone is comprised of maritime pillars, delicate rock arches, and concealed grottos. The cliffs laid bare reveal their rich golden hues, as the azure sea water gently caresses the precariously poised rock formations. An optional boat tour is available before progressing on the journey.

Lastly, make a stop at Lagos, a town enriched with a history of seafarers and buccaneers.
