Drive east from the resort towns and the Algarve slows down. Fishing boats come and go from small harbours, tiled façades line narrow streets, and the Ria Formosa lagoon stretches out between the towns and the sea.
Spend a private day with me in a part of the region most visitors never reach. I'll shape the route around your interests, the day of the week and the time of year.
WHERE THE DAY CAN TAKE YOU
Tavira A graceful riverside town of churches, old bridges and distinctive four-sided rooftops.
Olhão A working fishing town, with riverside market halls where the day's catch arrives each morning.
Cacela Velha A tiny whitewashed village above the Ria, with one of the most peaceful views on the coast.
The Ria Formosa Protected water chanels, salt marshes and sandy islands, home to flamingos and wading birds at certain times of year. If you'd like to see it from the water, I can arrange a boat trip.
The Salt Pans Where sea salt is still harvested by hand, much as it has been for centuries.
The Local Table Fresh seafood and regional cooking, in places chosen for their food, never for their view of the car park.

GOOD TO KNOW
The eastern Algarve is often overlooked. That is precisely why I love sharing it.
Expect cobbled streets and short walks through town, so comfortable shoes are a good idea. Tell me what draws you most, whether it's markets, history, nature or simply a long lunch by the water, and I'll plan the day around it.
The Algarve as locals know it, designed around you.
The quieter Algarve, east of Faro.
