Authentic Algarve

Información

This trip is all about landscapes. You’ll start in Porches, a traditional town characterised by whitewashed walls and terracotta rooftops. The terracotta isn’t here by accident. The town’s bread and butter is its pottery industry. You’ll drop in on a pottery workshop while you’re here. Moving on, you’ll make a photo stop at Benagil, where the coastal cliffs look like honeycomb and the beach is the colour of syrup. Next, you’ll take another picture break at Algar Seco, where the rock formations look like sponge or out-of-the-water coral. The next stop will be Ferragudo, the rising star of the area. Mooch into the cobbled village square and you’ll find a cluster of quaint cafes where you can get a coffee and a pastry. The last stop of the day will be a winery. The Algarve has been producing wine since 2,000 BC, so it knows the ropes. You’ll get to judge this for yourself during a tasting session.
