Explore the southern region of Portugal, rich in cultural heritage and stunning landscapes. Journey through mountainous villages with white houses lining cobbled streets, and enjoy panoramic views of flower-covered hillsides from the Algarve’s highest point.

The charming town of Silves welcomes you with the sweet scent of orange and lemon trees. Its history is reflected in the monuments, churches, and ruins. As you walk through Silves, your guide will share insights into its Moorish legacy. Visit the Castle of Silves, one of the best-preserved castles in the Algarve, and admire its towers and the historic alcáçova, the lord's residence. Discover one of the few remaining Gothic monuments at the Silves Cathedral, and gaze at the impressive 10-foot-high (3-meter) limestone cross.

Next, head to Fóia, the highest point in the Algarve, located in the Monchique mountains, for a memorable photo of the breathtaking landscape. You will also have free time to shop for local handicrafts and try a typical liqueur.

The final stop is the village of Monchique, perched in the Algarve’s mountains. Stroll through its cobbled streets and admire the unique architectural style, a contrast to the coastal homes. The village is known for its white walls, colorful windows and doors, and the distinctive saia (skirt chimney), its most characteristic feature.
