Tour Itinerary
Note: The Algarve offers the visitor not only magnificent beaches but also a land where the Moorish influences are evident in the architecture, tradition and legends. This brightly colored region, with its fig trees, orange groves and almond trees, is also the place where, five centuries ago, Prince Henry set up a school of navigation which played a crucial role in the Portuguese Discoveries. In this tour you will experience quite a blend of cultures which you will never forget.
