Länsi-Algarven kierros sisältäen Lagosin, Sagresin ja Cabo de Sao Vicentin

Länsi-Algarven jylhä rannikko on täynnä dramaattisia kallioita, jotka antavat suojan rantapoukamille ja persoonallisille kylille. Tällä retkellä sinulla on runsaasti aikaa tutustua historialliseen Lagosin kaupunkiin ja nähdä joitakin Algarven viehättävimpiä kohteita, kuten Sagres, "maailman päätepiste", ja Baleeiran kalastajakylä. Beatriz, yksi asiantuntevista paikallisoppaistamme, sanoo: "Lagosilla on pitkä historia, ja se 1400-luvulla portugalilaisten löytöretkien aikaan tärkeä merenkulun keskus. Saat kuulla sen historiasta samalla, kun kuljeskelet vanhassa kaupungissa komeiden rakennusten reunustamilla mukulakivikaduilla."Joen suulla sijaitseva Lagosin kaupunki on loistavalla paikalla rannan tuntumassa ja upeiden maisemien ulottuvilla. Teet kierroksen Lagosin kaupungissa, ja sinulla on myös vapaata aikaa nauttia vilkkaista kaduista ja kahviloista. Opastetulla kierroksella näet Praça do Infante -aukiolla Henrik Purjehtijan patsaan sekä rakennuksen, joka toimi Portugalin ensimmäisenä orjatorina. Sen jälkeen sinulla on vapaata aikaa nauttia lounas, shoppailla tai tutustua kaupunkiin.Seuraavaksi vierailet Cabo de São Vicentessä, joka tunnetaan myös nimellä "maailman päätepiste" – kyseessä on Euroopan lounaisin piste. Tämä paikka on kuuluisa jyrkistä kallioistaan, panoraamanäkymistään ja sen kärjessä sijaitsevasta ikonisesta majakastaan. Päivän päätteeksi pääset vielä nauttimaan panoraamamaisemista Baleeiran satamassa.

Guided evening 4x4 tour of Monchique Hills with dinner

This trip has to be one of the best ways to discover the real Algarve. Jump into a 4x4, leave the coast behind and make your way up into the Monchique hills. You'll discover the real heart of the region, one that most visitors never get to see. Ines, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘These hills feel almost untouched by time, with little farming villages where life moves at a slower pace, offering a glimpse of traditional Portuguese life.'Travelling in small groups winding along earth tracks and past tiny villages, you'll get a sneak peek of a peaceful lifestyle that's quickly disappearing. One of the highlights is the whitewashed village of Alferce, home to a pretty church dating back to the 16th century. Any cultivatable patches of land in the area are filled with citrus orchards and eucalyptus groves. Next, you'll continue on your journey to explore the natural wilderness of Barrancos dos Pisoes.There'll be plenty of stops along the way to capture those perfect holiday pictures and then we'll travel up to the highest point in the Algarve. At this special viewpoint, you'll watch the sky change colour as the sun sets and toast the view with a glass of sparkling wine. Hop back into the 4x4 and as darkness blankets the landscape, you'll head to a local restaurant for a traditional dinner including specialities from the Monchique hills.

Itä-Algarven päiväretki sisältäen vierailun Farossa ja fado-esityksen

Itä-Algarve on yksi Portugalin kauneimmista alueista. Tällä koko päivän retkellä tutustut alueen kauniisiin kyliin ja suurimpaan kaupunkiin. Vierailet Farossa, Olhaossa sekä Tavirassa ja matkustat kauniiden maaseutumaisemien halki Ria Formosan kansallispuistossa. Sofia, yksi paikallisoppaistamme, sanoo: "Tämä retki todella herättää paikallisen kulttuurin eloon. Näet perinteisen portugalilaisen fado-esityksen, jossa sielukas laulaja ja muusikot välittävät intohimon, kärsimyksen ja kaipuun tunteita. Se on erittäin merkittävä osa portugalilaista kulttuuria."Aloitamme Farosta, alueen pääkaupungista, jossa sinulla on vapaata aikaa tutustua vanhaan kaupunkiin – katedraali on ehdoton nähtävyys. Seuraava kohde on Olhao, Ria Formosan rannalla sijaitseva kylä. Vierailet sen kuuluisalla kalatorilla, minkä jälkeen sinulla on vapaata aikaa nauttia lounas ja shoppailla. Sofia lisää: "Sen lisäksi, että torilla on esillä meren antimia, se on hyvä paikka kohdata pienviljelijöitä, jotka myyvät omia tuotteitaan, kuten hunajaa, hilloja, kakkuja ja liköörejä."Iltapäivällä suuntaamme Taviraan tutustumaan sen tärkeimpiin nähtävyyksiin. Linnan lisäksi näet täällä seitsemänkaarisen roomalaisen sillan ja pari historiallista kirkkoa. Kierroksen päätteeksi pääset kirkkoon kuuntelemaan fadoa – melankolista musiikkityyliä, jota pidetään kansallisaarteena."

Full-day guided tour of the western Algarve by private minibus

This VIP tour is big on sightseeing. You'll discover the rock formations of Ponta da Piedade and enjoy a guided tour of Lagos. Rounding off the experience is Cape St Vincent – the Algarve's most westerly point. Tiago, one of our expert local guides, says "the Algarve area of Portugal has two main draws – its coastline and its sightseeing scene. Most people fall for the beaches, which is understandable given how gorgeous they are, but there are loads of cultural hotspots we'll show you on this tour. During our stop in Lagos, for example, you'll learn about the region's darker side at what used to be one of Europe's first slave markets.” Your tour kicks off at Ponta da Piedade for a photo opportunity of the Algarve's unique coastal rock formations. You'll see the arches and pillars – some of which have nicknames like ‘the elephant' and ‘the cathedral' – which have been sculpted over thousands of years by coastal erosion.Next up is Lagos. You'll kick things off her with a guided walking tour that takes in Praça do Infante, where you'll see Henry the Navigator's statue and learn about his exploration of the African coast. You'll also visit the Church of St Antonio and have some free time for lunch, shopping or exploring. Last but not least, you can snap a few selfies at Cape St Vincent. Also known as the ‘end of the world', it's the south-westernmost point in Europe.
