Stopover Location: Setúbal, Setúbal District, Portugal
Setúbal is a Portuguese town, the capital of the Setúbal District, located southeast of Lisbon on the north bank of the Sado River Estuary. Covering approximately 51.49 km², the city has ancient origins, with evidence of human occupation from the Neolithic era and the presence of peoples such as the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, and later, the Romans, who established fish salting factories and developed local ceramics.
During the Middle Ages, Setúbal experienced periods of stagnation due to invasions and piracy, but it prospered again from the 13th century under the protection of the Order of Santiago. In the 15th century, it became known for iconic buildings such as the Monastery of Jesus, a reference of the Manueline style and an important historical monument, now converted into a museum. Another highlight is the Castle of St. Philip, a 16th-century fortress overlooking the city and the estuary, now adapted as a B&B.
Today, Setúbal is known for its industrial port and automotive sector, as well as being a tourist destination appreciated for its beaches, natural parks, and gastronomy, especially fresh fish and fried chocolate. The city retains a traditional atmosphere, with squares, old palaces, and narrow streets, valued for both its historical-cultural heritage and its proximity to natural areas of great beauty, such as the Arrábida Natural Park.

Stopover Location: Lagos, Faro District, Portugal
Located in the Algarve region of Portugal, the city of Lagos has a rich history dating back to the Roman period. Originally known as “Lacobriga,” the city was an important center of commerce and fishing during the Roman period. With the fall of the Roman Empire, Lagos underwent several invasions, including those by the Visigoths and later the Moors, who conquered it in the 8th century.
During the Muslim occupation, Lagos prospered and became an important port. The city was reclaimed by the Christians in 1249 during the Reconquista and became part of the Kingdom of Portugal. In the 15th century, Lagos gained prominence as one of the main ports of departure for Portuguese maritime exploration, especially during the Age of Discoveries. It was from there that many sailors, such as Infante Dom Henrique, departed in search of new trade routes and unknown lands.
In the 16th century, Lagos was fortified to protect itself from attacks, especially from pirates. The city was also an important center of the slave trade during this period. However, the city suffered a major blow in 1755 when a devastating earthquake destroyed much of its infrastructure.
Today, Lagos is known for its beautiful beaches, rich cultural and historical heritage, and attracts tourists from all over the world. The city preserves many remnants of its past, including churches, fortresses, and the famous Slave Market, which relates to its history of commerce. The combination of history, culture, and natural beauty makes Lagos a fascinating destination in Portugal.

Stopover Location: Portimão, Faro District, Portugal
Portimão is a city in the southwest of the Algarve in Portugal, known for its historic connection to the sea, the Arade River, and its extensive fine sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. The history of Portimão dates back to prehistory, with traces of Phoenician, Carthaginian, Greek, Roman, and Arab occupation, reflecting its importance as a point of commercial and cultural exchange between the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and North Africa.
During the Middle Ages, Portimão was conquered by the Muslims and later by the Knights of the Order of Santiago in 1290, and elevated to a town in 1453. In the following centuries, the construction of the fortresses of São João (Ferragudo) and Santa Catarina (Praia da Rocha) provided greater security against pirate attacks.
The great economic development of Portimão occurred in the 19th century with the canning industry and the intensification of fishing, becoming one of the main fishing ports in Portugal. Industrial growth led to the construction of the bridge in the river area, reinforcing the port’s role in the local economy. In 1924, Portimão was elevated to city status and continued to expand urbanly.
Today, Portimão is an important urban center in the Algarve, with about 40,000 inhabitants. It stands out also for its cultural offerings, architectural heritage, and events that celebrate local history, in addition to being a sought-after tourist destination for its beaches and typical gastronomy, such as the roasted sardines at the traditional pier.

Stopover Location: Albufeira, Faro District, Portugal
Albufeira is a city and municipality in the Algarve, southern Portugal, recognized for its historic past and its importance as a tourist destination. Its human occupation dates back at least to the year 2000 BC, having been inhabited by Phoenicians, Romans, and later by Muslims, who gave it the Arabic name “al-Buħayra” (the lagoon, by the sea or castle of the sea) due to its location in an amphitheater over the ocean.
During the Islamic period, Albufeira was fortified and possessed an Almoravid castle, of which only ruins remain today. This virtually impregnable fortification was the last Arab stronghold to fall to the troops of King Afonso III in 1249, and was later donated to the Order of Avis. The narrow streets, white houses with arches, and part of the castle walls still witness the Arab influence.
Throughout its history, Albufeira has been marked by several constructive events, notably the earthquake of 1755, which devastated almost the entire town and caused hundreds of deaths. Despite these challenges, the city was rebuilt and developed, especially from the 19th century, with fishing as the main economic engine.
Today, Albufeira stands as one of the main tourist sites in Portugal, famous for its beaches, nightlife, and cultural heritage, such as the Matriz Church (an old mosque adapted to Christian worship) and the Church of St. Sebastian. In 2009-2010, it entered the Guinness World Records by performing the world’s largest toast at Fishermen’s Beach, with 25,000 people.

Stopover Location: Faro, Faro District, Portugal
Faro is the capital of the Algarve region, in the south of Portugal, and plays a central role both administratively and culturally. The city has a rich history dating back to antiquity, with evidence of Roman occupation in the area. During the Roman period, the city was known as Ossonoba and was an important commercial and port center.
With the arrival of the Moors in the 8th century, the city gained the name “Faru” and prospered under Islamic rule, which left a lasting mark on local architecture and culture. After the Christian reconquest in 1249, Faro began to develop as an economic and administrative center.
In the 16th century, Faro became the seat of the Algarve bishopric, which contributed to its growth and importance. One of the most significant historical landmarks in Faro is its cathedral, the Sé de Faro, located in the Old Town, an area surrounded by walls that preserves the charm of the old settlement.
The city faced challenges over the centuries, including pirate attacks and the devastating 1755 earthquake, which caused significant damage. Faro was reconstructed and continued to expand, especially with the arrival of the railroad in the 19th century, which facilitated transportation and trade.
Today, Faro is known for its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. It is the gateway to the Algarve, with the Faro International Airport facilitating access to this picturesque region. The city offers a combination of tourist attractions, from the picturesque streets of the Old Town to the vibrant nightlife and proximity to the Natural Park of Ria Formosa, an ecological sanctuary of international importance. Faro is also famous for its gastronomy, highlighting dishes of fish and seafood.

The Benagil Cave, or Algar de Benagil, is one of the most impressive natural wonders of the Algarve and one of its most iconic sights. Located among the dramatic golden cliffs of the municipality of Lagoa, this cave is famous for its unique formation and the small secret beach inside.
What makes the Benagil Cave special?
Formation and beauty: Formed over thousands of years by the erosion of the sea and wind, the cave is composed of typical limestone rocks of the Algarve coast. Its great feature is the circular opening at the top – known as the “eye” – that lets sunlight in, illuminating the golden sand and creating a spectacle of light and color.
Secret beach: Inside the cave, there is a small beach of fine sand, considered by many as one of the most beautiful in the world. The contrast of the golden rock and turquoise blue of the sea is simply unforgettable.
Access only by sea: It is not possible to enter by land; you can only reach the cave by boat, kayaking, or stand-up paddle. This makes the visit even more adventurous and helps preserve the environment.
How to visit the Benagil Cave
Here are some practical tips for your visit:
Boat tour: Depart from Benagil, Carvoeiro, Portimão, and other nearby cities. Tours often include visits to other caves and coastal formations.
Kayak or SUP: For those who want more autonomy and contact with nature, it is possible to rent equipment and sail to the cave.
Trail to the top: It is possible to walk through the cliffs and observe the opening of the cave from above — the view is amazing, but there is no direct access to the interior.
Different viewpoints
Those looking for comfort and safety opt for boat trips — ideal for families and groups.
Adventurers prefer to explore by kayaking or SUP, enjoying the freedom and tranquility of the sea.
There are also those who prefer to admire the “eye” of the cave only from the top of the cliffs, taking advantage of the opportunity to take unique photos.
Quick tips for a better experience
Use sunscreen, water, and a hat — sun exposure is intense.
If possible, go early or outside the high season to avoid crowds.
