- Silves - Silves is a charming medieval town that once served as the capital of the Algarve during the Arab rule. It boasts a rich history and cultural heritage. The town is dominated by its striking red sandstone castle, originally constructed by the Moors in the 8th century and later reinforced by Christian kings during the Reconquista. Visitors can explore the castle and its walls, which provide panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The town’s narrow, winding streets are lined with whitewashed houses and traditional shops offering local handicrafts and souvenirs. Other notable landmarks include the 13th-century Cathedral. The market is also a must-see.
- Monchique - Monchique is best explored on foot.
Strolling through the steep streets of the town center rewards visitors with views of magnificent hills, glimpsed between houses, and moments of tranquility in unexpected corners. Parking will be outside the town, and then a walk to the center will be led.
The guide will establish a meeting point for pick-up, and from there, customers will have over two hours to enjoy Monchique independently, including a lunch break.
- Caldas de Monchique - Experience the serene charm of Caldas de Monchique, a quaint village often referred to as Termas de Monchique. It is cherished for its calming thermal springs and lush, green forest surroundings. Please note, only one small spring is accessible to the public.
