A Journey Through the Algarve’s Rich Past and Scenic Heights
Step back in time and discover the historical heart of the Algarve on this full-day guided van tour. Departing from Albufeira, the tour begins in the ancient Moorish capital of Silves, where you'll explore its well-preserved castle and cathedral. From there, travel along narrow mountain roads through the Monchique range - routes untouched by tour buses - to enjoy panoramic views of the Algarve coastline. With scenic photo stops along the way, the journey continues to Lagos, a key city in the Age of Discoveries. Wander its old town, visit museums or enjoy lunch at your own pace. The final stop is the dramatic Cape Saint Vincent, once thought to be the end of the known world, where rugged cliffs meet the vast Atlantic. This experience offers a perfect blend of history, culture and nature - all in one unforgettable day.
