The Algarve, the departure point for Portuguese sailors as they embarked on their journeys of discovery around the world in the 15th century, is the southernmost region of Portugal and is famed for being an area with great weather, excellent beaches, diversified leisure spaces and also contains beautiful green areas, mountains and an enchanting seabed.
Cape St. Vincent (the westernmost point of the European continent) located in Sagres, the imposing cliffs, and the beautiful caves are just some of the natural wonders you can find in the Algarve. But this region is not just about natural beauty. If you visit Aljezur, Lagos, Silves, Faro, Tavira, Castro Marim, among others, you can discover the greatness of Portuguese history, its people and its traditions in each museum, church, fort and castle.
