See what life is like in the interior of the Algarve. This trip takes you into rural parts of Portugal most tourists miss out on. As well as seeing a local cork factory and bakery, you'll visit the castle-crowned village of Salir and São Brás Ethnographic Museum to learn about the Algarve of yesteryear. Our last stop will be the traditional village of Alte. Here you'll have time to wander the maze of alleyways filled with white-washed houses, and take a peaceful stroll along the poplar-lined banks of the River Alte.
