      The first stop reveals the natural grandeur of Ponta do Altar, where cliffs shaped by wind and sea offer breathtaking panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the Algarve coastline.

      15 min

    • The journey continues to Ferragudo, one of the most charming fishing villages in the region. Among narrow streets, whitewashed houses and the historic fishing harbour, you will feel the authenticity of an Algarve deeply connected to the sea and its traditions.

      35 min

    • At the Ria de Alvor, the landscape transforms into a true natural sanctuary. This saltwater estuary, famous for oyster cultivation, is also home to numerous bird species throughout the year. With a little luck, you may even spot flamingos feeding in the lagoon.
