Overview

This is a day of discovery and history! Our route follows lesser travelled paths, giving you a discerning view of Portugal’s past and present.

We travel to the town of Silves. Here there is time to visit the impressive cathedral and to wander the narrow streets(entrance fees not included).

From here we continue our ascent into the Monchique Mountain. We will visit the charming little spa village of Caldas de Monchique, with springs of proven medicinal properties. Following the winding road, we reach the highest point in the Algarve – Fóia – standing at 902m above sea-level.

Downhill then from Fóia, crossing the countryside and stopping in the small village of Marmelete where you have time to enjoy lunch in one of the local restaurants (included).

After lunch we go straight to Costa Vicentina, to visit some magnificent beaches .

Then it’s on to the ‘end of the world’ – Cape St. Vincent.

Passage through Sagres, a typical fishing village and its sheltered fishing port.

At Cape St. Vincent (Europe’s most south western point) a tiny lighthouse perches atop the cliffs and braves the elements.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
