Day 4: Our Algarve 9-Day Road Trip. Sagres and Cabo de São Vicente show a very different Algarve. Not polished or resort-focused but powerful in its history, and deeply connected to Portugal’s maritime story.

If you’ve seen photos of the Algarve online, chances are they were taken right here in Lagos. Today is Day 3 of our Algarve Road Trip and we plan to visit Ponta da Piedade.

Today is Day 2 of our 9 day road trip & we’re visiting three of the Algarve’s most famous coastal spots — Benagil Cave, Praia da Marinha, and Carvoeiro.

We started in the Old Town, and straight away you get that classic Algarve feel; whitewashed buildings, tiled façades, narrow cobbled lanes, and café terraces spilling into the main square.
