Your first destination is Silves, a town steeped in history that served as the capital of the Algarve during the Islamic rule in the 11th century. The town is dominated by the impressive Silves Castle, a magnificent Moorish fortress that offers panoramic views of the surrounding valley and river. During your visit, you will have ample free time to wander through the quaint, narrow streets and savor a coffee or a local treat at a traditional café.


Next, the tour continues to the peaceful mountain town of Monchique, nestled at the foot of the Algarve’s highest peak, Fóia.
