Silves and Caldas de Monchique Tour

At 9 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in Albufeira and head northwest to Silves. The journey will take approximately 30 minutes.

Once we arrive, we'll soon discover the Moorish influences of the ancient capital of the Algarve when exploring its historic center. We'll first see the exterior of Silves Castle, one of the best-preserved Moorish fortresses in Portugal. As we admire its characteristic red-brick facade we'll tell you about the history of this monument, whose origins date back to the 8th century. Nearby, we'll also see the Cathedral, a Gothic-style building erected over the remains of an ancient mosque.

We'll hop back on the minibus and drive to Caldas de Monchique, a small town famous for its hot springs and its spectacular scenery. Exploring this village, we'll feel the calm and peace that made the Romans consider this place a haven of peace.

Afterwards, we'll head to the Fóia de Monchique, the highest peak in the Algarve. We'll have the chance to take amazing pictures of the valleys surrounding the Monchique mountain range. And, if the skies are clear, we'll be able to admire the Atlantic Ocean in the distance.

Lastly, we'll end the excursion at approximately 1 pm by dropping you off at your hotel.
