LAGOS
Lagos was formerly the capital of the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, and was the last port before the Portuguese caravelas set off for their long sea journeys, during the great Discoveries of the 16th century. The Governor's Palace and the Portas de Portugal e do Postigo are attractions not to be missed.
Other places of interest are: the Museu Regional, the Pau da Bandeira Fort and the old Slaves' Market.
The Lagos Marina is the first stopover for boats coming in from Western Europe to the Algarve, and is thus much sought after on the way in and out of the Algarve by sea.

MONCHIQUE
Wander amongst the charming townhouses, clustered on the hillside, discover the wealth of little churches and stop for a refreshing break at the nearby Monchique Spa.

PORTIMÃO
In this fishermen's town, a visit to the main church (Igreja Mãe) and the Town Hall is a must. Just outside the town, you cannot miss the bustling Praia da Rocha, but do not forgo the lesser-known Roman ruins of Abicada.

SAGRES
Five centuries ago here in Sagres, Prince Henry the Navigator founded the Navigation College, essential to the Portuguese Discoveries and seafaring future. The famous Sagres fortress with its wind rose - a giant rose-shaped compass, of 43 metres in diameter, is well worth a visit. At continental Europe's south westernmost tip, the imposing St Vincent Cape stands guard, a vast horizon in which sea and sky are one.

SILVES
Silves Castle - considered Algarve's most important castle and built on Roman and Phoenician fortifications. In the wide courtyard, a deep well and two cisterns - the Dogs' cistern and the Enchanted Moorish Damsel cistern.
The Nossa Senhora dos Mártires chapel - built in the 7th century as a sepulchre for Portuguese crusaders killed during the first siege of Silves.
Fábrica do Inglês - a popular leisure attraction in itself, together with the recent Cork Museum.


FARO
The region's capital boasts some splendid monuments - the Cathedral, the Convent of Nossa Senhora da Assunção, and some extremely interesting museums such as the Museu Infante Dom Henrique and the Museu Etnográfico.

TAVIRA
Apart from the irresistible golden beaches nearby, Tavira itself is authentically and vividly picturesque with its views over the River Gilão and its Roman bridge. The typical Algarve rooftops and chimneys are unique - stroll along the Travessa de Dona Brites, where the medieval houses with Gothic doors and windows will enchant you.
