Algarve Seaside self-guided hike tour, Essential

Discover the soul of the Algarve, where the
Mediterranean lifestyle invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Extending 250 kilometres of golden sands and tranquil waters, the Algarve
offers the perfect blend of beaches, sunny climate and the flavours of the
Mediterranean diet - a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Taste fresh seafood, world-class olive oil and the
famous Algarve Fleur de Sel, whether you dine in quaint taverns or
sophisticated restaurants. Venture into the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a
dazzling lagoon shaped by the wind and tides and hailed as one of Portugal's
Seven Natural Wonders. This 18,400-hectare sanctuary is a haven for wildlife
and an important part of the Ramsar Convention and Natura 2000 networks. Nearby
Faro, the capital of the Algarve, has a historic citadel, sun-drenched squares
and streets lined with orange trees. Every step reveals a story, a taste and a
memory worth treasuring.
