Sagres is
a charming fishing town on the very western edge of the Algarve. This
semi-remoteness gives Sagres a distinctive atmosphere
and unique blend of activities that will captivate visitors. From the tranquil harbour of Sagres, that is set
amidst a coastline of giant craggy cliffs, the 17th century Golden Age of
Portugal sailed from.

● Trip
to Silves
Distance
from hotel: 45Km (40 minutes driving)
http://www.silvesuncovered.com/Portals/Silves/home/silves_home.jpg
Silves is
an enchanting town littered with orange and lemon trees, sitting on the banks
of the Arade River ("Rio Arade").
There is history everywhere you look in Silves, to
remind you of its affluent and bold past as a Moorish capital (“Xelb”).The importance of Silves
lay in the fact that it was the main access to the inland areas of the Algarve
because of its river location, although the river is now too silted up for
large vessels to use.

- Trip to Faro
Distance
from hotel: 24Km (30 minutes driving
http://media.lonelyplanet.com/lpi/23591/23591-35/681x454.jpg
Faro as a
destination is often overlooked, simply regarded as a point of entry or exit to
the Algarve region and this has allowed Faro to retain its traditional and
historic charm. The city, which is the capital of the region, prospered as a
fishing port sheltered behind the sand bank islands of the Ria Formosa national park. Today the old town of Faro
is unchanged still centered around the harbour while the beach islands are near deserted even at
the height of the summer season.
