Tips from Joel
Portugal Travel Expert

Climb the Clock Tower (Torre do Relógio) in Albufeira’s old town just before sunset. It’s easy to miss, but the view over the rooftops and out to sea is worth the short, steep climb, and it’s usually quiet up there.
Explore Sagres’ cliff-top fishing port for sweeping cape views and discover the maritime legacy linked to Prince Henry the Navigator. In Lagos, stroll cobbled streets, visit the gilded Chapel of Santo António, and learn about the town's role in the Age of Discovery.
Sagres and Lagos are two of the best places to visit in Portugal if you're into coastal history and dramatic scenery. Finish at Baleeira Beach to capture Atlantic seascapes, relax by the sea, or join local boat outings. This authentic, tailor-made travel day blends history, photography, and coastal relaxation.

Spend today at your own pace in Albufeira. Wander the cobbled Old Town, relax on golden beaches, and watch fishermen at the marina. Sample fresh seafood in tucked-away tavernas and soak up panoramic cliff views.
Choose from private boat tours, dolphin watching excursions, cooking classes with locals, or lively evening entertainment for an unforgettable Algarve night.

After a final breakfast at your hotel, enjoy a private transfer to Faro Airport for your departure flight. Our team ensures a smooth, personalized send-off so you can relax until takeoff.
