Your day
Morning – Benagil and the cliffs. We depart from Lisbon. Cross the 225 of April bridge. Our first stop is at the Benagil coast, home to the famous sea cave with its natural skylight. The cave is best seen from the water, so we can arrange a boat trip, and we walk the clifftops above for the view.
Lunch. Fresh fish and seafood by the sea. Your guide will suggest the best local spots.
Afternoon –Lagos and Ponta da Piedade.At Ponta da Piedade, golden rock pillars and arches rise from turquoise water. We then explore Lagos, with its walls, its fortress and the site of Europe’s first slave market, a hard but important part of the story.
Return. Drop-off at your hotel in Lisbon.
