What to expect
This trip focuses on the eastern Algarve—often described as one of the region’s jewels—mixing historic towns with protected coastal landscapes.
You’ll start in Faro, the regional capital, with free time to explore the old town. Next is Olhão, set on the banks of the
Ria Formosa, where you’ll visit the fish market and then have time for lunch and shopping.
In the afternoon you’ll visit Cacela Velha, a tiny coastal hamlet of whitewashed houses with a church and an old fort with Atlantic views.
Then it’s on to Tavira for top sights and a visit to the Castle of Tavira ramparts—followed by a live fado show in a church.
