You'll stay in a wonderful variety of hotels, all with pools, including a charming hotel in Sagres with wonderful views of the fortress and over the crashing Atlantic below; a rustic house in Pedralva (every house in the village has been restored to provide accommodation!); a well-restored pensao (coaching inn) in Vila do Bispo complete with spa; and a family-run hotel just 20 minutes' walk from the old town of Lagos. We've included five evening meals so you're free to sample some of the area's superb local restaurants.

Food

All continental breakfast and 5 evening meals included.

The local speciality from the sea is the Barnacle Perceve, this is not
taken from the bottom of boats but the bottom of submerged local cliffs, it
is harvested by hand using a dangerous and traditional method,
which involves one of the two collectors dangling by a rope from the top of
the cliffs! They are a bit of a delicacy not too dissimilar to
mussels. Away from the sea the dried hams, salamis and chourico are as good
as anything that Spain or Italy can produce. The strange sounding
bread sausage Alheira is very good, invented by the Portuguese Jews during
the Inquisition to avoid persecution, bread and non-pork products are
used. Good quality meat is also on the menu, beef and pork are of a high
quality and lamb in season is superb. Vegetables are plentiful and with
big harvests of almonds and oranges, fruits are in good supply
alongside another local vegetable, the sweet potato.

The Algarve’s other surprise is the quality of cheese; from mild to
strong using cow, goat or sheep milk there is a great range of cheeses for
all tastes, Queijo de Cabra do Algarve, is a particular favourite.
