Silves and Monchique Sightseeing Tour |
|
|
Take a trip to the ancient Arab capital of Silves, shop for local handicrafts at Monchique
| Overview | |
|
This is a great way to combine a tour to the historical town of Silves with a shopping excursion to the typical village of Monchique. The sleepy town of Silves at the foothills of Serra de Monchique, is famous for its gothic cathedral and ruined red sandstone castle that stands testimony to its rich Moorish past. Don’t forget your camera as this tour offers some brilliant photo opportunities! From Foia, the highest point in Algarve, look down upon some truly spectacular views of the city, its beaches and the surrounding greenery. Take a trip to the scenic village of Monchique and shop for a range of local artwork such as woven baskets, traditional Roman stools, the famous local cured ham "Presunto de Monchique", and the “medronho” fire water. Visit Caldas de Monchique, a place popular with the Roman settlers who were drawn by the healing powers of its local water.
