We were picked up at our hotel by our very friendly and knowledgeable guide Tony and headed out to the Algarve interior. When we got to the countryside, we went into the hills on dirt roads. Tony would often stop to tell us about the cork trees and eucalyptus trees and identify local plants and herbs. The drive was quite exciting through the rough and curving roads with beautiful scenery below us. We stopped at the firewater distillery and went up to the highest mountain in the Algarve for a panoramic view. The afternoon was topped off with a delicious Piri Piri chicken lunch. The tour was a perfect combination of excitement and education. Thanks to Tony for his good humour and excellent knowledge.
Thats absolutely amazing...the knoledge of the guide and all the fun we had up and down hills. Try the Medronho. Picture of our friend Baltazar in Alte .5 stars
Absolutely 5 Star day out Our driver Rue was brilliant, made our day great fun. Many stops to find wild herbs, almonds,aloe, cork. Beautiful quiet off road countryside. Rue opened the land rover roof so we were able to stand up & get the best views. Stopped to taste local firewater, delicious honey & jams. Piri piri chicken for lunch
Take a day out and get away from just laying around the typical holiday pool or beach. Was lovely to see some of the sites of 'inner' Portugal, with the people, the villages, the markets, plantations etc. Downside was driving around dirt tracks got a bit tedious after a few hours, and the lunch meal of chicken & chips again could have had more thought put into it! Overall worth the trip and would recommend
