Algar' rhythm

Dive into southern Portugal's natural beauty away from the crowds

- 

Escape the extreme heat this summer and immerse yourself in the authentic beauty of the Algarve by visiting some of these lesser-known towns, scenic trails and nature in southern Portugal.

Monchique is immersed within a picturesque rural landscape and adorned with wooded slopes.

Try out Demons Creek Walkway, a new hiking route offering visitors access to unique sites that have been previously inaccessible, as well as incredible scenery and stunning nature. The suspension bridge, a highlight on the route, crosses a gorge and provides excellent views of the landscape.

Where to stay? Monchique Resort & Spa is an authentic retreat in the mountains; a perfect balance between luxury and nature.

A mythical atmosphere surrounds Sagres, a verdant region in the most western point of the Algarve, that's been dedicated to the gods for thousands of years. The unspoilt coastline features dramatic horizons of cliffs and emerald sea.
