Silves castle

This building is located in the western Algarve city of Silves, and you shouldn’t miss it because it is the largest fortified building in the region, not to mention the fact that the historic town of Silves is a great visit as well.

The nature reserves and island beaches

You can find these all throughout the region, but especially on the west coast, in central Algarve around Faro and in the eastern Algarve around Castro Marim.

These are part of the natural beauty of the region, and they’re great for all of those who love walking in nature, photography and hiking. The Parque Natural da Costa Civentina located around Aljezur is such an example, featuring dramatic cliffs and hundreds of species of flora, fauna and a wonderful rural countryside to discover. Then of course there’s the Ria Formosa nature reserve located around Faro, which features some stunning island beaches and a plethora of water-based wildlife and plant life.

Lagos and Ponta da Piedade

Ponda da Piedade – Lagos, Portugal

You can find these locations in western Algarve, Lagos being a town that is extremely rich in history, being the place where the Voyages of Discovery were launched by Prince Henry. You can see the historic centre still being surrounded by its 16^th century protective walls; then there’s the scenic cliffs of the Ponta da Piedade which offer breathtaking views to those lucky enough to see them during the sunset.

And you can see all of these and more with the help of our Algarve car hire services or in case you do no want to drive with Faro Transfers anywhere in Algarve.
