Locals in the 'Wild West' offer a warm welcome and cling to the traditions of rural life. It's a far cry from the package tourist hotspots of the eastern Algarve region. Unspoilt wild coastlines take you on a trail back to a land that time has forgotten, where pretty white villages intermingle with rich valleys and pretty meadows. Beyond the 'developed' Algarve in Portugal's most southerly Atlantic corner, lies the Sagres Peninsula - a startlingly pristine region of golden beaches and imposing cliffs, swaying flower meadows, dramatic coastlines and tree-lined paths. We offer fantastic activity trips in the Algarve that allow you to explore this beautiful area by foot, following the coastline through charming villages and beautiful forests.

Seafood, fish, wine and custard tarts are all a must during your travels!
