A Roman bridge spans the Gilão River in Tavira, one of the Algarve’s most beautiful towns. Besides the Romans, the Phoenicians and later the Moors also left their mark on this charming, growing, and notably devout village. With over twenty churches, be sure to visit the Igreja da Misericórdia, famous for its unique azulejo tile panels on the walls.
The Algarve spoils you with countless such stopover moments. And the best part: the atmosphere changes every day. From Pechão, you can enjoy seven varied round trips.

Another delightful ride takes you through a quiet, wooded area with beautiful golf courses all the way to the coast at Ilha do Faro.
Place the ball, hips back, knees slightly bent. Then… swing! Quinta do Lago has more in common with an American country club than with an authentic Portuguese village. Here it’s all perfectly trimmed lawns, sprinklers, and golf carts cruising by. The mild climate and beautifully designed greens make the Algarve one of the world’s top golf destinations. And the celebrities know it too. Cycle through this lush landscape and marvel at the villas of international superstars and multimillionaires.
The word azulejos comes from the Arabic al zulaydj, meaning "little stone." It’s even possible that the word azul (blue) is derived from azulejos—the famous blue tile panels you’ll find all over the Algarve. The Moors brought the art of painting glazed tiles from the Persian Empire. They used the tiles to decorate floors and walls.
Markets can be found all over the Algarve, but the one in Loulé stands out. The Saturday morning market still exudes the charm of authentic local life. Gypsies and farm workers from the surrounding area offer everything from melons, dates, almonds, honey, and fresh fish to dried fish and spices for piri-piri. Inside the old covered market hall, it’s a vibrant mix of sounds and scents. In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables, you’ll also find handmade goods like woven baskets.
