Description
This is a unique opportunity to step back into the Age of Portuguese Discoveries, where history and the sea are deeply intertwined. In Lagos, visit the richly decorated Church of Santo António (price not included), famous for its striking golden interior and baroque detail. Nearby, you can also learn about one of Europe’s most important 15th-century slave markets, a powerful reminder of the city’s role during the maritime expansion era. Continue to the breathtaking Ponta da Piedade, one of the Algarve’s most spectacular natural landmarks. Here, dramatic golden cliffs, sea arches, and hidden grottoes have been shaped by the Atlantic Ocean over thousands of years, creating an unforgettable coastal landscape. Next, explore Sagres, a beautifully preserved fishing town with a strong maritime identity. Visit its historic 15th-century fortress, closely linked to the Portuguese Age of Exploration, and enjoy sweeping views over the wild Atlantic coast. Finally, head to Cape St. Vincent, the southwesternmost point of mainland Europe. Once known as the “End of the World,” this dramatic headland is crowned by one of the most powerful lighthouses in Europe, standing above towering cliffs where land meets the vast Atlantic Ocean in a truly iconic setting.
