Overview

This tour is led by an experienced, dedicated, and passionate tour guide who knows these towns like the back of his hand.
 In the heart of the stunning Algarve region, this trip is a remarkable exploration of three distinct towns that combine history, culture, and natural beauty in a truly unique way.
 This tour takes you beyond the typical tourist spots to reveal the true soul of the Algarve. The tour guide is committed to providing authentic and immersive experiences that allow you to connect with local communities like the copper master and weavers of Loulé and the vendors of Olhão. Each of these three towns has its own distinct character and cultural heritage. In Loulé, you will step back in time as you wander through the enchanting cobbled streets of the old town. 
Olhão, on the other hand, is a fishing town with a unique heritage, reflected in its architecture and culinary traditions. 
Faro, the capital of the Algarve, offers a blend of historic charm and contemporary vibrancy.

Loule

Nestled in the heart of the Algarve, the picturesque town of Loulé exudes a charm that captures the essence of the countryside of the Algarve.
 We will visit Loulé Municipal Market, one of the best examples of the Arabic revivalist style
- The Old Town streets of Loulé with its traditional houses and where you will see the copper master working his traditional cataplana and other items, the local ladies weaving dworf palm trees leaves, sewing and linking each branche, producing so many different objects: bags, carry cots, baskets, and more traditional or innovative objects. 
 - The cobblestone traditional shopping street

Olhao

Olhão's unique architecture creates a particular urban panorama. One of Olhão’s most iconic features is its network of cubist-style houses. These Cubist structures showcase the city's artistic spirit and unique approach to architecture. 
The first stop on our tour is the municipal market. Set along the waterfront, this building stands out among the white houses with its red-brick walls and green domes. There are two sections: one with fruits and vegetables and local dry products, and another solely dedicated to fish and seafood, like clams, mussels, and oysters.

We will walk to the town centre along the traditional streets where you will find traditional Portuguese buildings with their traditional tiles and iron balconies and also you will see the cubist houses.

Welcome to Faro, the capital of our stunning Algarve region! 
 Our tour will take you on a captivating journey through this enchanting city, known for its history, beautiful landscapes, and vibrant culture. Our first stop is in the heart of Faro, the Old Town.

 As Faro is also home to the beautiful Ria Formosa Natural Park, a protected area with diverse ecosystems, salt marshes, and an abundance of bird species, from the top of the Cathedral we can admire that beautiful view. Our tour will then take us to Arco da Vila, one of the ancient city entrances.
