Route

1. Faro, the administrative capital of the Algarve, is rich in natural and cultural heritage and invites you to discover it. The pre-Roman city called Ossónoba was one of the most important urban centers in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. Today, due to its location, as well as being the capital, Faro has the most important infrastructure and public services in the Algarve region. The local gastronomy, based on shellfish from the Ria Formosa, is unique and one of the best in the country. Faro's charming historic center is surrounded by ancient city walls and contains a Gothic cathedral. Outside the city walls is a modern center with pedestrian shopping streets, scenic squares and a variety of restaurants and bars. South of Faro is the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a series of saltwater lagoons and mudflats that are a haven for migratory birds and wildlife. Along the sea side of the Ria Formosa are three sandbar islands, location of Faro's pristine beaches.

2. Tavira is one of the most charming towns in the Algarve. Tavira lies along the slow flowing Gilão River, and is a delightful mix of traditional Portuguese heritage with deep-rooted Moorish influences. Concealed within the labyrinth of cobbled streets are traditionally tiled houses, family run restaurants, and a myriad of decorative churches. South of Tavira are the protected waterways and mudflats of the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa, which leads to the beautiful sandy beaches of the Ilha de Tavira. countryside. Tavira is one of our favourite holiday destinations in the Algarve, and are sure you will discover the allure of it too.

About Albufeira

Albufeira is a former fishing town on Portugal's Algarve coast, with whitewashed old streets, sandy coves below red cliffs and a long summer season.

Albufeira was a fishing town under Moorish rule, its name coming from the Arabic for a lagoon, and its old town still climbs a hill above the water in a tangle of whitewashed alleys and arches. A tunnel leads down to the Fishermen's Beach, where boats once landed their catch, and the clock tower and parish church stand in the centre.
