A stunning tour that takes in the mystical highland region of the Algarve where time seems to have stood still before visiting Sir Cliff Richards Vineyard The Adega Do Cantor
Itinerary
Day 1
Let us take you on a magical journey into the hill country of the Monchique, where we can explore this area of the Algarve where time seems to have stood still. We leave the Mediterranean climate behind and start to pass lost villages as we head up into the pine and eucalyptus scented highlands
We visit the almost mystical village of Caldas which has stood here since Roman times, this small village hidden in a valley surrounded by pine and cork trees is our first stop. We have time to try the world famous spring water, and who knows maybe even try the local Chouriço bread that has been baked in the one time village community brick oven
We then head further into the mountains before stopping at a country restaurant for lunch consisting of typical local food and wine, this will also be our first chance to try some traditional liquors from the area
After our delicious meal, it's back on the coach and we head for the Foia of Monchique which is the highest point in the Algarve. Here we can spend time taking in the breathtaking views known as
A VISTA DOS ANJOS yes the view of the angels before trying the local firewater and shopping for those all important souvenirs
Finally to round off a perfect day it's off to a local winery. Yes we pay a visit to the Adega do Cantor, which is the location of, Sir Cliff Richards vineyard in the Algarve, this the setting for the final part of our tour, we can enjoy an escorted visit with a member of the vineyards knowledgeable staff there is also a photo opportunity, with one of the most stunning views in the area. Its then off to the winery cellars for a wine tasting lesson and a chance to sample

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.
