Silves & Monchique: A Journey Through Stone, Sky, and Tradition
Discover the Algarve’s rich cultural roots and soaring landscapes on this relaxing day tour that blends history with natural beauty.
Our first stop is in Silves, the former Moorish capital of the Algarve. You'll have free time to explore the town’s striking red sandstone castle (entry not included) and its impressive Gothic cathedral, both testaments to the region’s layered past and architectural charm.
From Silves, we ascend into the Monchique mountains, winding through lush, scenic terrain to reach Fóia, the highest point in the Algarve. Here, panoramic views stretch across the region—and on clear days, all the way to the Atlantic. You'll have free time to take in the fresh mountain air, snap incredible photos and even taste a traditional regional liqueur, a flavorful nod to the Algarve’s culinary heritage.
