Itinerary

Day 1

Beginning in the early 15th-century, the Portuguese began to lay the foundations of a powerful, maritime empire. Begin this tour by exploring the Algarve's old Moorish capital, Silves. Here you will visit the cathedral, castle, and archaeological museum. Then, continue on to Lagos, known as the 'Gold Coast' because of its distinctive yellow rocks. This Algarve port was the base for many voyages by Portuguese entrepreneurs, including Henry the Navigator. Hear how he financed many expeditions and supposedly founded a school of marine navigation. Enjoy a relaxing lunch break before continuing to the most south-westerly village on mainland Europe, Sagres. Finish at the rugged, windswept Cape of St. Vincent and retreat to a charming tea house for delicious teas and coffee.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
