Rejseplan
Klipperne i Ponta da Piedade-udlandet er en af de fineste naturlige skønheder i Algarve. Denne dramatiske kalkstenkystlinje er dannet af havsøjler, skrøbelige bjergbuer og skjulte grotter, som alle er blevet mejslet af vilde vinterstorme. Neden kan kun beskrives som forbløffende.
Festningen blev bygget i det 16. århundrede for at beskytte kysten mod de hyppige angreb fra mauriske pirater. Det står på stedet for et tidligere middelalderkloster, der har huset de dødelige rester af São Vicente (St Vincent). Det er en militær konstruktion med en polygonal planløsning, med en indgangsport kronet af det kongelige skjold, og som engang havde en bro. Inde i fæstningen kan man se fyrtårnet i São Vicente, der blev bygget i 1904 og er stadig i drift i dag, også den fantastiske udsigt over klipperne og Atlanterhavet.
Normalt spiser vi frokost i Sagres. Det er hjemsted for det mest imponerende landskab i Algarve. Naturkraften er så stærk i dette sydvestlige spids af det kontinentale Europa, at besøgende snart vil forstå, hvorfor gamle nybyggere betragtede det som hellig, hvordan det lokkede portugisiske opdagelsesrejsende fra det 15. århundrede til at sejle ud i det ukendte og hvordan det har formået at bevare sin originale slående skønhed. Sagres historie er blevet afgrænset af dens geografiske placering og det fantastiske landskab i Sagres og Cape St. Vincent promontories. Landsendene faldt af disse 50 meter høje udlandet, der faldt dramatisk i havet, var en konstant kilde til mysterium og tiltrækning for regionens successive bosættere, som de forskellige spor af deres nærvær viser. Den mest indflydelsesrige figur i Sagres historie var Henry Navigator, som her fandt inspiration til at gå i gang med sine efterforskningsrejser, bringe berømmelse til regionen og føre til oprettelsen af byen Vila do Infante. Under hans vejledning blev området et knudepunkt for maritim aktivitet, efterhånden som kartografer, astronomer og søfarende samledes, karaveller blev bygget og udforskningen af Afrikas kyst begyndte.
Lagos er en dynamisk og aktiv by, der med rette er stolt af sin fortid og besidder en meget rig og velbevaret patrimonium. Regionen Lagos har en lang historie, der forbinder den med havet. Dets oprindelige navn, Lacobriga, afspejler det faktum, at de første indbyggere i denne havn i ca. 2000 år f.Kr. var af keltisk oprindelse. Efter dem kom fønikere, grækere og karthagere, men det var romerne, der bragte vækst og velstand til byen. Morerne byggede mure omkring Lagos i det 10. århundrede. Det 15. århundrede var guldalderen for byen Lagos med dens øjeblikkelige involvering i opdagelsesperioden. På grund af havnens placering, direkte overfor Afrika, blev det det vigtigste udgangspunkt og ankomst for skibene, der år efter år sejlede i opdagelsen af dette kontinent.

It was a pleasure to spend the day with Pedro. We changed our tour focus a couple of days before the tour and he was kind enough to adjust accordingly. We saw lots of neighboring beach towns around Tavira, VRSA plus Tavira. He was very informative along the way. He was even kind enough to send us a follow up communication to some of our questions with recommendations of local resource resources after the tour. Highly recommend!
Booked V tours with Pedro based on reviews - much appreciation for those positive comments because we were not at all disappointed. He has great knowledge of the best sights and is very sensitive to his clients' needs. Pedro even shared his octopus with us to prove how good it is in the Algarve. Highly recommend his service after 2 excellent days - one to the east and one to the west. Thanks Pedro
Pedro was informative and engaging. The tour was fantastic and the landscape was breathtaking. The traveling was safe and wonderful. We highly recommend.
Expect to be wowed! Wear comfortable shoes, take a hat and sunglasses. Take a light jacket or sweater. The temperatures change from one area to another. Pedro, the guide is fantastic. He speaks perfect English and showing you his homeland is his passion.
This is a all day tour with a little walking but extremely beautiful sites . You need to wear suitable footwear and possibly a sweater as can get breezy. Pedro was an excellent guild very knowledgeable
It was fabulous, beautiful scenery and Pedro is an excellent guide, considerate and respectful , to do absolutely
We had such an amazing time on this tour with Pedro. Pedro was a phenomenal guide and had a great tour planned with stunning views of coastal Algarve. Lunch was authentic Portuguese food at a waterfront restaurant and one of the best meals we’ve had. Lastly, seeing the southwestern most point of continental Europe was a pinnacle of our experience. Cannot recommend this tour enough to enjoy the Algarve with an expert guide.
This tour was amazing. Me, my husband, daughter, and her boyfriend spent an entire day with Pedro in Lagos and Sagres. He took us to the best spots with the most beautiful views. Pedro was with us for every step and stair that we took. He was full of great information and knowledge, and we even learned a lot. I could not recommend him highly enough.
Pedro is knowledgeable, personable and made every moment of our tours interesting. Trained as an environmental engineer have him a different perspective which expanded our awareness of the formation of the natural aesthetics of Portugal as a naturall environment .. Matched with his depth of local knowledge and his sense of adventure we were blessed to have him as a guide. Initially I had said it's Ok to do some unusual things and that we'd seen churches all over the world! We enjoyed his favorite some of his favorite restaurants and foods as well as stops for Portugal famous cherry liquor. What started as a 1 day tour resulted in 3 days of touring from Tavira to Lagos with many unexpected stops. We would not hesitate to use him again!
Pedro is the best guide ever! Had an amazing tour with him yesterday. HIGHLY recommend you book your tour in the Algarve with him. His knowledge of history, timing of visiting sites, amazing photo spots (and photo skills) and commentary on Portuguese culture made the day all the more special! Thanks so much Pedro!
