Benagil Cave, have you heard? We bet you have seen this photograph of the Benagil Cave in several places and you wonder why. Know that the reason is because the Benagil Cave is really one of the most beautiful places in Portugal. The coast of the western Algarve is especially fertile in algares, vertical caves, and the Benagil algar is one of its most beautiful. That is why on a trip through the Algarve it is mandatory to visit the Benagil cave.
The Praia do Barril trail, in Tavira, allows access to the homonymous beach on a 1.5 km linear trail that leads to Praia do Barril beach and explores part of Tavira Island and the tradition of tuna fishing in Ria Formosa.
The Falésia beach trail is BRUTAL! So with Falésia beach! It is a trail above the living cliffs of sandstones and displeased materials on the cliffs of Falésia beach, some in the form of small “fairy chimneys”.
The Fishermen’s Trail consists of several stages and on this day we decided to do the Vila Nova de Milfontes Stage to Almograve. It was a wonderful day to explore the trail from Vila Nova de Milfontes to Almograve since we were on vacation in Vila Nova de Milfontes and we combined the beach with physical activity and nature.
Visiting Olhão and Praia da Fuzeta is our favorite program when we go to the Algarve. It’s because? Because Olhão and Fuzeta are the traditional Algarve and have some of the best and most beautiful beaches in Portugal. Olhão is a winning bet and Fuzeta too. We will show you why you should visit Olhão. We particularly like the still traditional environment of the village of Olhão, with a wonderful atmosphere. In addition, the beaches of Fuzeta and Olhão are our favorite corner on the Ria Formosa and one of our favorite places in the Algarve. It is for all this that it is worth visiting Olhão and Praia da Fuzeta.
The Ria do Alvor, a lake environment, it has a trail of just under 6 km that allows you to appreciate this environment full of lake and dune biodiversity, the Tail to the Flavor of the Sea, on the walkways of the Ria do Alvor.
