Additional Information

The Algarve is enchanting with its premium tourist offerings and still maintaining its distinctiveness, which is clearly evident in the indigenous villages and local activities.

The Porches Pottery workshop stands out as one of the finest examples of this art, as it continues to uphold many of the old-fashioned manufacturing techniques. Here, you can observe the artisans handcrafting and painting the pottery.

Perched above the Atlantic, Benagil, a fishing village, boasts a small yet scenic beach, the activities of the village are accompanied by the constant sound of the Atlantic. Moving towards the Carvoeiro resort, we visit Algar Seco, a location famous for its spectacular caves and grottoes sculpted by the coastline over hundreds of years. Take a leisurely walk through the Ferragudo village, meandering through the stone-paved streets and down to the miniature harbor.

The tour concludes with a visit to a winery where you can join a guided tour and sample some of the wines produced locally.

An absolutely fabulous day made even more enjoyable by the driver, Ricardo. - Booked this trip through the hotel reception and was picked up by mini bus, Ricardo. Only 7 of us so quite a relaxed and more intimate trip compared to the bigger groups of 12/15 people. Ricardo was absolutely fantastic, funny, informative and genuinely friendly and helpful. despite not going to the pottery part of the tour, which had we been told it was closed when booking, we wouldnt have even booked the trip, but he made up for it with his choice of places to see and the information he gave us was really good. He was an absolute lovely guy and kept us all entertained and informed of local traditions, events, etc. An absolutely lovely day with a lovely bunch of people and a fabulous trip guide. Well done Ricardo, keep smiling and Happy New Year.

Could have been a more informative tour. Was more like a bys ride with various stops until we got to the winery. - The cliffs on the beach. Winery was also nice. Tour guide was more of just a driver and not a tour guide. He gave us a time to be back to the van, but then said "or you can take more time if you need to" which caused most of us to be hanginging out in parking lots while two ladies took extended time like they were on their own private tour. Not good!
