There's a world of cultural gems and areas of natural beauty within striking distance of Faro. See some of the best bits on this excursion, including guided visits to Silves and charming Lagos, the gorgeous landscapes of mountainside Caldas de Monchique, and the clifftop viewpoints of Ponta da Piedade and Cape St Vincent.
Explore the Moorish stronghold of Silves town and get a guided tour of its imposing medieval castle. Follow this with a visit to the spa town of Caldas de Monchique, to soak up its tranquil, mountainous beauty. Then it's on to Lagos, for a guided tour of its famous main square and its St Sebastian and Henry the Navigator statues – with free time for lunch.
The second half of your North Algarve tour takes you to the otherworldly sandstone rock formations of Ponta da Piedade, and then on to beautifully remote Cape St Vincent – set at the southwestern tip of Europe, it's not hard to see why the peninsula has earned the nickname of the End of the World.
