Last but not least: Day 3 in Portugal
Panorama view of Tavira
We complete our short escape with a trip to Tavira, the so-called ‘Venice of the Algarve’.
Enjoying the weather...
...and the quietness
After strolling over a Roman bridge, we climb to the historic city centre and get the chance to give Portugal the dignified farewell it deserves. All in all, we experienced the Algarve as an undeniably beautiful region with golden sands, breathtaking cliffs, wonderful food and lovely people.
Totally excited
Até logo, it’s been a pleasure!
A short trip to Portugal – Day 2
Burgau - A popular beach for all surfers
Exploring the Algarve in 72 hours
Burgau, a beautiful and sleepy town is one of the top surf spots of the Algarve. Here we have breakfast on our second Portuguese morning before heading further west. Passing a stunning medieval castle near Boca do Rio we enjoy the way along the coast to Lagos.
Fell in love with sleepy Burgau...
Found a medieval castle on our way to Lagos!
The spectacular cliff formations shape the perfect picture postcard view. After a long walk on the beach exploring hidden caves we drive to Silves.
Lonely beaches with golden sand
From the top of the Moorish capital of the Algarve we watch the sun set…
Silves - worth a visit!
We’re looking forward to enjoying another day at the stunning Algarve coast!
How about a 3-day-adventure? Olá Portugal!
Exploring the Algarve in 72 hours
Since Portugal is one of Europe’s most diverse travel destinations, the picturesque Algarve coastline is no longer a well-kept secret. In order to enjoy the golden beaches and spectacular cliffs all for yourself you should come visit before the flood of tourists rolls in during summer vacation time. Beginning in March the temperature averages around a comfortable 20 degrees and a 3-day-trip already pays off to escape the long German winter just for a little while.

Day 1
After starting our morning in the historic centre of Faro, the capital of the Algarve region, we rent a car and reach Europe’s most south-westerly point in just two hours. At ‘the end of the world’ we witness the mighty power of the elements: The sister capes Ponta de Sagres and Cabo de São Vicente rise almost vertically from the Atlantic as the waves crash against them. Here, Henry the Navigator once stood, overlooking the sea when he decided to explore the ‘New World’. We end our day in the small fishing village Ferragudo, enjoying delicious wine and delectable fish.
