Ferragudo is the perfect alternative to the more massive Portimão in southern Portugal. The small fishing village has charming corners, wonderful beaches, countless restaurants, beach bars, and cafes – and plenty of fun things to do!
An important part of traveling is food, right? French cuisine is well-known and loved, and in Nancy, it is no different. I have some great tips for restaurants, wine and cocktail bars, and local specialties. Come hungry!
If the Algarve in Portugal is famous for anything, it is its vast sea cliffs and picture-perfect beaches. The southern part of Portugal has much more to offer: vineyards to mountains and dolphins to donkeys. Quickly discover the best sights and prettiest spots in the Algarve.
Sagres is the last village just before the most southwestern tip of Europe, the end of the mainland. The waves of Sagres have an undeniable attraction for surfers. But you don’t have to surf to enjoy the surf town. I definitely also enjoy the impressive cliffs of Cabo de São Vicente and the last bratwurst before America.
Silves is known as the oldest city in Portugal. I’m not sure whether that is entirely historically correct. But it’s a nice claim anyway. If you’re traveling through the Algarve, be sure to spend a few hours in Silves and its famous Moorish castle.
If you only do one hike in the Algarve, make sure it is this one. The Seven Hanging Valleys Trail is the most popular hiking trail for a reason. The cliffs are breathtakingly beautiful, the trail is not too difficult, and you can take a refreshing dip in the ocean after your hike.
The coastal town of Lagos is a nice mix of beaches, water activities and restaurants – and a vibrant nightlife for those coming to party. The city appears to be very popular among Australians for surfing. Because of its location in the west of the Algarve, you can also do all kinds of trips from Lagos. But first, let’s see what there is to do in Lagos itself!
In Lagos (Algarve) you’ll find many, many food options and cozy cafes. So, I have done my best to have coffee, food, and drinks in as many places as humanly possible in a few days. These are my favorite spots in Lagos.
