Resplan
Alvor är en traditionell fiskeby där vi får lära oss om seder och traditioner hos dessa människor som har levt av havet och för havet i århundraden, med dess naturliga skönhet och charm. Vi kommer också att besöka Alvors livräddarmuseum med dess hemligheter som vår guide kommer att dela med sig av.
Efter att ha färdats längs Portimonensekusten med utsikt över dess vackra rena sandstränder, anländer vi till fästningen som byggdes 1621 för att skydda våra sjöfararförfäder från pirater som försökte plundra oss. Denna fästning har sin charm och sina hemligheter som kommer att avslöjas för er av vår guide.
Ferragudo är en vacker fiskeby med över 500 års historia, belägen vid floden Arades mynning. Dags att besöka de lägre områdena samt kyrkan som går tillbaka till byns egen tid och dess utsikt över hela floden Arade, samt slottet São João do Arade, som har varit privat i 200 år.
Efter kustutsikten är det dags att bege sig in i Silves lantliga inland, den äldsta staden i hela Algarve. Under denna resa får vi se Arades saltpannor och Harvard-vingården med sina feniciska produktionstekniker. Vi får också se de enorma apelsinlundarna, födelseplatsen för vår söta Algarve-apelsin. När vi anländer till Silves slott kan vi beundra denna magnifika antika byggnad såväl som dess arkitektur.
Eftersom inte allt är historia och kultur, kommer vi att resa genom terrängen i våra fordon för att upptäcka medronho och den eftertraktade portugisiska korken samt all dess produktion och omgivningar. När denna resa är avslutad är det dags att återvända till era rum.

Lots of fun with a great guide.
So many thanks.
The pick up from our complex was so easy and the two tour guides were so friendly and accomodating. I struggle with high steps and so one of the vehicles was slightly lower and they also brought with them a step stool to make access easier. The two guides that we had were so knowledgeable and took us to a variety of places including a liveky coffee shop which sold the gorgeous Pastal de Nata and also some hand made almond shapes, like marzipan fruits but much better. They took us up into the mountains and shared so much local knowledge. I would absolutely recommend booking a tour with this firm.
Really glad you had enjoyed. So many thanks.
A beautiful experience ideal for getting to know the area well; Antonio is a great guide and driver, he makes you live the experience to the fullest and you learn about the culture of the area, this adventure deserves a ten.
Muchas gracias.
The 4-hr tour is organized by a group of enthusiasts who aim to present the local history and daily lives of the area's inhabitants – primarily fishing families. At the start, the guides point out symbols of the story – local monuments, a now-closed fish market, and an old fishing boat, even explaining how it was steered. Participants are then driven in well-maintained vintage Land Rover vans (air-conditioned with the windows open) through the narrow streets of Alvor, allowing them to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of bygone times. Drivers share stories about customs and the details of fishermen's lives. One stop along the route is the Fortaleza de Santa Catarina, where the interesting optical distortion effect of photographing through the barrel of a cannon standing there is demonstrated. The tour then continues through the alleys of Ferragudo (with a break at a friendly café) and past the Fort de São João do Arade castle. From Ferragudo, the route leads along very local roads through the salt pans region to Sitio da Abicada (Estômbar) on the right bank of the Rio Arade, where you can learn about local grape varieties (wine tasting is not included in the program). Next, we visit a local swimming pool on the Rio Arade, fed by natural springs, and the forecourt of Silves Castle (without visiting the paid part of the castle), where you can see the exhibition in the tower. From the castle, the tour moves to the foothills of the Sierra de Silves. There, passengers can take an off-road ride along steep local mountain roads. In summary, the tour is worth the price. However, this tour should be undertaken only by those curious about local life and history. This is the kind of history that rarely makes it into textbooks. The drivers who take care of the participants come across as passionate local patriots who genuinely want to share stories about the land they inhabit. We want to thank Mr. Antonio and Mr. Nuno (our driver) for a job well done.
We are really happy that you had enjoyed this tour, as you can realize there is so mutch more to show on the sorrounding areas, such as more offroad areas . So many thanks

What an incredible experience! The Jeep tour through Alvor, Portimão, and the surrounding towns was absolutely unforgettable. The views along the way were breathtaking — from the stunning coastline to the beautiful countryside, every stop felt like a postcard picture. What really made the tour special was the guide’s amazing knowledge of the history and culture of each town. You could tell they were passionate about the area, and they shared so many interesting stories and facts that made the experience even more enjoyable and meaningful. The whole tour was fun, well-organized, and packed with incredible scenery and great vibes. I would recommend this tour 100 times over to anyone visiting the Algarve! It was easily one of the highlights of my trip, and I will definitely be booking again the next time I come back.
Really happy that you had enjoyed. So many many thanks.
