About this activity

Driving from Lisbon we start at Praia da Rocha one of the most famous beach resorts in the Algarve. While strolling along the boardwalk or just enjoying a refreshing drink at one of the many bar terraces, you will be able to admire the mythical beach, considered one of the most beautiful in the world, a family holiday destination from all over Europe. Next we walk the cobbled stone alleys of Lagos, a city with over two thousand years of history, populated by Romans, Visigoths and Moors. The first slave market in Europe was established here. Very close you will see the horizon at Cape St. Vincent, the south-westernmost point of Europe that marks the separation between two different coasts: the Atlantic, beaten by the cold winds and the Mediterranean, bathed with warm waters. We will depart for Sagres where Henry the Navigator founded the first nautical school in the World. This place still preserves an aura of mystery, with the magnificent red cliffs defying the Atlantic Ocean.
