Algarve day trip from Lisbon
After reaching the southernmost part of Portugal where the Mediterranean is the limit, one gets the urge of looking beyond the sea, the same urge that became the thriving force that inspired the Portuguese sailors to be the first to venture into the open oceans.
Our first visit will be to Praia da Rocha, one of the most famous beach resorts in the Algarve. While strolling along the boardwalk or just enjoying a refreshing drink at one of the many bar terraces, you will be able to admire the mythical beach, considered one of the most beautiful in the world, a family holiday destination from all over Europe.
Next we walk the cobbled stone streets and alleys of Lagos, a city with over two thousand years of history, populated by Romans, Visigoths and Moors. The first slave market in Europe was established here in the middle ages. Very close by you will be able to see the ocean’s horizon at Cape St. Vincent, the south-westernmost point of Europe, that marks the separation between two different coasts: the Atlantic, beaten by the strong west winds, and the Mediterranean, bathed with warm waters from north Africa.
We will depart for Sagres where Henry the Navigator founded the first nautical school in the World. This place still preserves an aura of mysticism, bordered with magnificent red cliffs defying the Atlantic Ocean.
Whether you choose a single-day or a multi-day tour, you will always be driven in the comfort of our Mercedes-Benz vehicles and escorted by our certified professional driver-guides.
