GET TO KNOW THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF THE ALGARVE
A full-day tour to discover the history and culture of the Algarve initiating in Silves, known to the Arabs as Xelb, was a flourishing trade centre when it became the Moorish capital of Algarve. On the top of the hill is the castle of Silves and the 13th-century cathedral built by the Christians on the ruins of a mosque.
The next destination will be Monchique, a typical village in the mountains covered with an exotic and unusual mixture of magnolia, eucalyptus, pine, chestnut, cork oak, and strawberry trees.
