Day 2: Praia Verde

Day 3: West Algarve Tour
Departure to the Algarve West. Begin your tour in Silves, the once Moorish capital of the Algarve. Crusaders on their way to the Holy Land played an important role in the conquest of the Algarve in the 13th century. See the Cathedral, the castle and the archaeological museum. Travel to Lagos - known to many as the pot of gold, because of its yellow rocks along the coast. Known from 228 AD, Lagos was the scene of Roman and Cartage people signing the contract that fastened Ebro as the border among them. Your next stop is Sagres, the most south-westerly village in mainland Europe. Henry the Navigator is thought to have had his headquarters (his so-called "School of Navigation") in the vicinity of Sagres, though the exact location is not known. The Cape St Vincent is steeped in history and this once windswept place of suggested beauty is now the end of the line, a well beloved place of considerable interest to botanists and bird watchers.
Day 4: Praia Verde
Free day for your relax in Praia Verde.
Day 5: Guadiana Tour
We go along the unspoiled and scenic river, which forms a natural frontier separating Portugal and Spain. Small, fortified towns such as Castro Marim and Alcoutim line its banks, a testament to the border wars with Spain. After lunch, we visit the walled city of Mertola, a UNESCO World Heritage City, and the ruins of its extensive Roman and Moorish historical sites. Visit Mertola Castle, perched high above the city. The castle offers excellent views of the river valley and the unspoiled village in its idyllic setting!
