76 SUGGESTED PORTUGAL ITINERARIES 4 THE ALGARVE IN 1 WEEK favorite is Mareta, but countless other beaches dot the peninsula around Sagres. See chapter 9. Days 2 & 3: Lagos & Portimão On Day 2, leave Sagres in the morning and drive 34km (21 miles) east to reach the ancient port city of Lagos. Historically a port of call for the sailors of Admiral Nelson’s fleet, Lagos can be visited in 2 hours. In the town itself, its single major attraction is Igreja de Santo António (p. 232), dating from the 18th century and containing remarkable baroque gilt carvings. Allow 30 minutes for a visit. Spend another hour or so wandering the streets of the old town, poking into courtyards and ducking into shops looking for handicrafts. The Old Customs House, Antigo Mercado de Escravos (p. 232), was the site of the arcaded slave market, the largest in Portugal. Before leaving the area, drive 2km (1 1 ⁄4 miles) to Ponta da Piedade (p. 232), one of the most beautiful spots of the western Algarve. Enjoy a lunch in Lagos at Os Arcos Marisqueira, then continue east toward the bustling fishing port of Portimão, lying 18km (11 miles) to the east of Lagos. Frugal travelers can seek affordable lodgings in Portimão itself, and others can stay at one of the surrounding beach resorts such as Praia da Rocha, which has the most options. After checking into a hotel, you can explore Portimão itself or spend the afternoon at Praia da Rocha’s beach (p. 238), 3km (1 3 ⁄4 miles) from the center of Portimão. If you’d rather play golf, you’ll find some good courses here (see “Golf,” p. 238). On the morning of Day 3, while still based in the Portimão area, set out on a voyage of exploration of your own. Our favorite excursion is to the mountain range of Monchique (coverage begins on p. 244). After a morning of driving through the mountains, have lunch at the Estalagem Abrigo de Montanha (p. 244). In the afternoon, you can head for Silves (coverage begins on p. 245) for 3 hours of wandering about. Lying inland, Silves is reached after an 18km (11-mile) drive to the northeast of Portimão. Its chief attractions are the red-sandstone Castelo dos Mouros (p. 245) and the 13th-century Cathedral of Silves (p. 246). Because Silves was the capital of the Moorish kings and is an ancient site, we suggest spending ample time—at least 1 1 ⁄2 hours—poking about its streets. Return to Portimão or Praia da Rocha for the night. Day 4 Albufeira: The St. Tropez of Portugal On the morning of Day 4, leave the Portimão area and drive 28km (18 miles) east to the cliffside town and old fishing village of Albufeira (p. 247). Resembling a village in North Africa, Albufeira is at the center of one of the great beachside tourist developments in all of Portugal. Your choice of hotel for the night can be in Albufeira itself or in Quarteira (p. 253) farther on, or perhaps around Almancil (p. 257), with its dramatic resorts Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago. Of course, you may decide never to leave Albufeira itself, as it offers some of the best beaches in the Algarve, notably Falésia. Golfers can get in a game at Pine Cliffs (p. 248) or drive over to one of the courses outside Quarteira. Especially good are Vila Sol (p. 254) and Vilamoura Old Course (p. 254). The finest concentration of restaurants in all of the Algarve is also found in this area, especially if you want to dine deluxe. Days 5 & 6 Faro: Capital of the Algarve On the morning of Day 5, leave the Albufeira area, driving 38km (24 miles) east to Faro. Here you can check into a hotel for 2 nights as you set out to discover not only
