The wild west of the Algarve, where the land meets the Atlantic.
West of Lagos, the Algarve loses its polish. Resorts give way to fishing villages, the cliffs rise higher, and the land finally ends at Cape St. Vincent, once believed to be the edge of the known world.
Spend a private day with me along this coast. We'll combine the places worth seeing with quieter stops most visitors drive straight past, at a pace that suits you.
WHERE THE DAY CAN TAKE YOU
Lagos A historic walled town, once a departure point for Portugal's voyages of discovery.
Ponta da Piedade Golden sea stacks, arches and grottoes, best seen from the clifftop paths.
Luz, Burgau and Salema Small fishing villages where boats are still pulled up onto the sand. At Salema, dinosaur footprints appear on the rocks at low tide.
Sagres A fortress on a windswept headland, forever associated with Henry the Navigator.
Cape St. Vincent The southwestern tip of mainland Europe, where a lighthouse stands above sheer cliffs and open ocean.
The Wild Beaches Wide Atlantic beaches framed by dunes and cliffs, with far more space than people.
The Local Table Seafood from these waters, including percebes, the goose barnacles gathered from the rocks along this coast and one of Portugal's most prized delicacies.
ADD TO YOUR DAY
A Clifftop Walk A short walk along the coastal paths, around Ponta da Piedade or on a section of the Rota Vicentina, adapted to your pace.
A Surf Lesson The west coast is where Portugal learns to surf. I can arrange a private lesson with a certified local school, adapted to your level and to the conditions of the day. No experience needed.

GOOD TO KNOW
This is your day, at your pace. If you'd rather linger in a fishing village, stop for a swim, enjoy a long lunch or simply sit and watch the Atlantic, we'll do exactly that.
The west coast is windier and cooler than the south, so a light layer is always a good idea, even in summer.
The Algarve at its wildest, designed around you.
