Rejseplan
Ikke langt fra den gamle bydel i Carvoeiro finder vi den skjulte Algar Seco med sin naturligt udskårne pool åbnet mod Atlanterhavet og har også et springområde fra sandstensklipper til havet med trin skåret i klipperne for at komme tilbage til landet. Når du udforsker området, kan du se fossile skaller på klippernes vægge, hvis du er opmærksom. Et sandt vidunder af naturen skåret i hundreder af år af vinden, regnen og bølgerne med en spektakulær udsigt.
Lige på siden af Algar Seco går vi gennem "A Boneca" kort tunnel skåret på klippen, der åbner og lyser op til et lille rum med to vinduer med havudsigt. Denne berømte klippeformation kendt som "Dukken", er en klippe formet som en omvendt kegle, der ligner en dukke, når den ses fra havet, hvor de to vinduer ligner øjnene. Udsigten fra denne hule er helt spektakulær, og det vil hjælpe du forstår, hvorfor Algar Seco er et af de smukkeste områder i Portugal.
Carvoeiro-promenaden er en vidunderlig klippetop, der fører til fortet Nossa Senhora da Encarnação. Denne ti minutters korte gåtur er langs en forhøjet træsti, der ligger på toppen af klipperne og tilbyder en fantastisk udsigt over kysten. Du kan finde tegn undervejs, der forklarer den fauna og flora, der er mulig at få øje på i området.
Boardwalk slutter ved fortets hovedindgang med kapellet, begge sidder på toppen af bakken, der har udsigt over Carvoeiro-stranden. Religiøse og militære funktioner delte dette rum. Kirken eksisterede allerede, da det defensive militære udstyr i 1675 blev bygget her i form af en uregelmæssig polygon, muligvis på det sted, hvor en vakttårn ville have eksisteret.
Fra fortet begynder vi at falde og stoppe lige efter ved udsigtspunktet med udsigt over stranden og den gamle bydel. Her er det muligt at beundre de typiske Algarve-konventioner og tage billeder. Derefter kommer vi til den gamle bydel, hvor du normalt selv får 30 minutter til at gå frit, du kan gå til stranden og også udforske den gamle bydel, shoppe efter souvenirs. Så er det tid til frokost på en typisk portugisisk restaurant ikke langt fra den gamle bydel.
Vi foretager et hurtigt stop på et udsigtspunkt med udsigt over floden Arade, gårdene, byen og det mægtige slot på toppen af bakken, tag et par fotos. Også nogle forklaringer om Silves slot. Derefter tager vi til Silves gamle bydel for at besøge slottet.
Bygget på toppen af en bakke er det imponerende Silves Castle romersk med oprindelse, men det var araberne, der byggede det storslåede slot, vi ser i dag, mellem det 8. og 13. århundrede. Vi kommer ind i slottet og går rundt på patruljeruten oven på borgens vægge. Vi besøger resterne fra perioden med muslimsk besættelse på indersiden af slottet, især en silo, der blev brugt til opbevaring af korn og en cistern dækket af et hvælvning, der sad på fem halvcirkelformede buer. Silves Castle er det bedste eksempel på arabisk militær arkitektur i Portugal.
I 1266 begyndte arbejdet med at bygge Silves katedral på stedet for en tidligere moske. Katedralen er bygget i gotisk stil, og højalteret blev genopbygget i manuel stil efter jordskælvet i 1755. Vi går ved katedralen, du kan tage billeder.

We had a wonderful experience exploring Lagos and the Algarve with our guide, Pedro. He picked us up directly from our hotel in his spacious and beautiful Mercedes van and took us around the area, showing us some of the most beautiful and scenic places, palaces, and neighborhoods. Pedro knew exactly where to take us for breathtaking views and beautiful photo opportunities, and he made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy each spot and capture memorable pictures. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating throughout the tour. As an added bonus, Pedro takes amazing pictures. We felt like we had a tour guide AND a professional photographer! The tour he planned for us was a relaxing and enjoyable way to see the Algarve, and we came away with some beautiful memories and photos from our trip. We highly recommend Pedro to anyone visiting Lagos and the Algarve!
What a wonderful way to get to experience and learn about algarve! We had a wonderful guided tour through some coastal cities. Got to see and 1000 year old castle, had lunch at a lovely beach town and finished the day with a stop to see the caves at the beach. Breathtaking! The caves were definitely the highlight for everyone involved. Pedro was great at taking pictures and creating memorable moments. It took a lot of stress off to not worry about capturing the moments knowing you are in good hands and you’ll get some good pictures. You can just enjoy the experience.
We had a fantastic day with Pedro. We spent a full day with him touring the Algarve. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating and very cheerful. He is a great photographer so we enjoyed all the expert pictures he took throughout the day. Our day included the Eco-Cork Factory, Silves, Loulé and some sea side walks. We highly recommend him if you are looking to do a private tour.
Pedro was a fantastic guide. We had a full day filled with informational and beautiful stops. Pedro takes the time to take many pictures and provides them free of charge. His car is upscale and clean and Pedro is very knowledgeable of the area and the information he provided . This was a friend’s trip and we had the best time. With many memories to cherish for the future.
We had a great day out with Pedro, he collected us from our apartment and tailored the trip to our needs. We went to Silves first in the cool of the morning, looked around while Pedro guided us through the town and around the castle. We went for lunch in a lovely local restaurant that we would never have found ourselves. In the afternoon we went to Carvoeiro and Pedro was really knowledgeable about the history of the area. We saw places we never would have known to visit on our own. If you’re visiting the Algarve we’d highly recommend booking a tour with Pedro.
Pedro provided an amazing day showing some of the highlights the Algarve has to offer. The day started with a pick up at the hotel I was staying at in Faro. There was some high surf and high wind advisorys the day we toured so Pedro had some alternatives in mind as the itinerary slightly changes and those did not disappoint. The hikes in the morning to various picturesque points along the cliffs and down stairs closer to waves crashing on rocks were just breath taking. Aftrer lunch the drive out to Silves to see the castle was in itself a treat. Seeing the arab architecture was so unique as you don't expect that in the Algarve.
This tour includes the amazing boardwalk at Carvoeiro with its truly fabulous views. Pedro is a very knowledgeable guide and provides great historical insights into this beautiful area of Portugal. Silves Castle provides a panoramic view of the town and is definitely worth visiting. We would definitely recommend this tour and will certainly book a tour with this company, as Pedro is a great guide and went out of his way to ensure that we had a good time.
Great tour. Was the highlight of our trip. Pedro was very knowledgeable and professional. The whole family had fun. Pedro took a lot of pictures for us. Best tour in Portugal.
Our family of six enjoyed a wonderful day touring the Algarve with Pedro and VTours. Pedro picked us up at our hotel in Lagos. His van is high end and accommodated our group comfortably with room to spare. Pedro is full of knowledge, providing so much insights about the history of the region. The sights were beautiful and everything was so authentic. Highly recommend Pedro for his expertise.
What an amazing day!! Pedro was awesome! He showed us the beautiful Carvoeiro & Silves. Kept us entertained, engaged and gave us a history lesson. A memorable experience. 100% recommend.
