Detailed itinerary
1
Start your coastal discovery at the mouth of the Mira River. This picturesque spot offers a stunning contrast between the calm river waters and the Atlantic's power, set against the backdrop of one of Alentejo's most charming villages.
2
Visit a unique location where storks nest on the sea cliffs—the only place in the world where this occurs. The panoramic views from this lighthouse are among the most dramatic on the entire southwest coast.
3
A brief stop to admire this iconic whitewashed village perched on the edge of the cliffs. The view over the local beach is a perfect postcard moment of the rugged Alentejo shoreline.
4
Experience the border between the Alentejo and the Algarve. Odeceixe features a unique horseshoe-shaped beach where the river meets the sea, surrounded by majestic cliffs.
5
Climb to the ruins of this 10th-century Moorish castle. From the ramparts, you can overlook the old town and the green valleys that lead toward the Atlantic.
6
Follow the clifftop roads of Carrapateira for breathtaking views of the wild coast.
7
We pass by the famous Amado Beach, a surfing sanctuary known for its raw beauty and golden sands.
8
Conclude your journey at the Algarve’s most famous rock formation. The golden limestone stacks, sea arches, and turquoise grottos of Lagos provide a spectacular grand finale to your coastal expedition.
After this point we'll take you to your hotel in Algarve or Back to Lisbon
