Best West Full Day Trip: Silves, Fóia, Lagos & Cape St. Vincent

 

The highlights of West Side of Algarve in one day. Silves, the ancient capital of the Algarve, a city full of history, with its Moorish Castle, the roman bridge and its gothic cathedral (XIII) these are sights that should not be missed. See the highest point Fóia that stands 902 metres above the sea line, being the highest point in the Algarve. From here you can see almost the entire cost line making it a perfect point for spectacular photos. In the afternoon visit the beautiful city of Portuguese Discoveries - Lagos. You will have free-time to discover monuments of that important age such as the first European slave market, Saint Anthony's golden church, the old town and the fort. In the south western point in Europe at Cape St. Vincent, known as "the End of the World" you will pass by the Fortaleza, home of Prince Henry's School of Navigation, and visit the strongest lighthouse in Europe, Baleeira.
