ALGARVE BEYOND THE BEACH — VILLAGES, CRAFTS & TRADITIONS
Sale Price:

The Algarve inland, where the region keeps its traditions.
Twenty minutes from the coast, the Algarve changes. The road climbs through almond, carob and orange groves, villages gather around a church and a café, and the rhythm of life follows the seasons more than the holiday calendar.
This is the Algarve that shaped everything you see on the coast. Even its name comes from Arabic: al-Gharb, the west. Spend a private day exploring it with me, through its villages, its crafts and the stories that rarely reach a guidebook.
WHERE THE DAY CAN TAKE YOU
Silves The red sandstone castle of the Algarve's former Moorish capital, above a quiet river town.
Loulé A lively market town with a Moorish-style market hall, where artisans still work with copper, cane and palm leaf.
The Barrocal Villages Alte, Salir and Querença. White houses, natural springs and wide views across the hills.
The Roman Algarve The ruins of Milreu, a Roman villa near Estoi, with mosaics of fish and sea creatures.
The Algarve Chimneys Delicate white chimneys, each one a small signature of the family who built the house. Once you notice them, you'll see them everywhere.
The Village Table Lunch in a traditional tasca, with regional cooking that rarely appears on coastal menus.
THROUGH THE SEASONS
Every time of year brings something different: almond blossom in late winter, the cork harvest in summer, orange groves heavy with fruit in the colder months, and medronho distilled in the hills in late autumn. I'll plan your day around what the season has to offer.

GOOD TO KNOW

Tell me what fascinates you most, whether it's history, crafts, food, landscapes or simply the way people live here, and I'll build the day around it.
