Algarve travel guide · essential itinerary

Algarve

The Algarve combines historic cities, Barrocal villages, mountains and a very diverse coastline between the western Atlantic and the more sheltered waters of the leeward. Faro, Tavira, Silves and Lagos help to understand regional history; the Ria Formosa, Cabo de São Vicente and the limestone cliffs reveal distinct landscapes. Plan by zone, avoid crossing the entire region daily and confirm access to beaches, island transport and weather conditions.
