Algarve Favorite Tips by hundertmorgen

Beaches

Favorite thing: The beaches at the Algarve are spectacular. Never saw beaches like this before...

Algarve - Westcoast

Favorite thing: This area of the Algarve is famous for its breathtaking views and is a popular destination for surfers.

Sausages and other vendors

Favorite thing: Here you also find the last sausage before America and other street vendors

Cabo de São Vicente (Cape St. Vincent)

Favorite thing: It is Europe's most south-western point, and is the site of the Battle of Cape St. Vincent.

Cape St. Vincent is aproximetly 6km's from Sagres. To get there you can either follow a road or a rocky path that runs along the cliff edges. The path makes for an exhilirating walk with breathtaking scenery.

On the Cape itself there is a lighthouse. Rumours are that you can get a tour of the lighthouse if the keeper is in the mood. But you would have to be there when there is no other tourists because the place is usually swamped with them.

Ponta da Piedade

Favorite thing: The cliff formations of the Ponta da Piedade near Lagos count as the nicest ones of the Algarve. With boats you can visit the rocks and grottos.

Fondest memory: It was a funny boat ride!
