Itinerary and highlights

We will depart from Lisbon towards Ponta da Piedade in Lagos, a beautiful corner of the Algarve famous for its impressive golden cliffs rising above the deep blue sea.

Shaped by the forces of wind and water, these natural formations have created stunning arches, grottos, and caves.

The next stop will be the city of Lagos, known as one of the main departure points for exploration voyages during the Portuguese Age of Discoveries.

Accompanied by a local guide, stroll through its historic cobbled streets, visit the Church of St. Anthony and the old slave market, and learn more about its maritime legacy. Afterward, enjoy free time to explore at your own pace.

In the afternoon, we will head to Albufeira, a former fishing village that has become one of the most popular destinations in the Algarve. Its old town is a maze of whitewashed streets, lined with charming small shops, bars, and restaurants.

After a guided tour to explore its main attractions, there will be an opportunity to taste the local cuisine (own expenses).

We will return to Lisbon after a day full of dreamy landscapes.
