- Silves - Silves is a charming medieval town that once served as the capital of the Algarve during the Arab rule. It is renowned for its rich history and cultural heritage.
The town is dominated by its magnificent red sandstone castle, originally constructed by the Moors in the 8th century and later reinforced by Christian kings during the Reconquista. Visitors can explore the castle and its walls, which provide breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
The town’s narrow, winding streets are adorned with whitewashed houses and traditional shops offering local handicrafts and souvenirs. Other notable landmarks include the 13th-century Cathedral. The market is also a must-visit.
- Ponta do Altar Lighthouse - Enjoy sweeping views of the Arade River, the fishing boats, and the surrounding landscape. It’s an excellent spot for photography or simply relaxing and enjoying the scenery.
- Carvoeiro - Once a typical Algarve fishing village nestled in a valley and bordered by high limestone cliffs, Carvoeiro has transformed into a popular, ever-expanding resort town. Despite this, the beach remains the town’s focal point, and the area retains much of its charm.
Whitewashed, terracotta-tiled villas and cottages cling to the cliff sides, forming a kind of amphitheater with all eyes on Carvoeiro’s prime attraction - the beach.
