Day 10

Algarve region, South Portugal 

Today itineraries included the towns of Faro, Albufeira and Portimao and a boat tour of Algrave from the sea.

Faro. Interesting landmark are Igreja de Sao Francisco and the old Roman walls. It also has a large marina.
















Albufeira. One of Portugal most famous tourists destinations famous for its beautiful beaches.








View of Albufeira 







Benagil. A view of the southern Portuguese coastline.






We took a boat tour, starting from Portimao. The boat left the pier and passed the fishing village of Ferraguda and the historic castle.






The beautiful rock formations formed due to sea and wind erosion. Along the rocky coast, were passed by many cliffs, bays, grottoes and beaches. The cliffs and rock formations were awesome.














Grottoes and caves











Spectacular views of caves at Benagil and Algar Seco. You can see the blue sky through the cave roof.










Portimao marina







We stayed at a beautiful villa in Ferraguda overlooking the town of Portimao. and had self catered dinner.
