family-friendly beaches. On the next day, continue east, stopping for a picnic on the
forest-lined shores of Parque Natural da Arrábida . At night, stay in Setúbal for more
seafood feasting and a wander through the sleepy old-town quarters. The next day, book a
dolphin-watching boat trip along the Sado estuary . From Setúbal, take the ferry across to
handsomely sited Tróia . Continue south to overnight in Vila Nova de Milfontes , a
lovely seaside town with fine beaches and charming guesthouses. Next is Zambujeira do
Mar , a tiny village perched above a pretty beach. Follow the coast to Aljezur , with its
unspoilt, cliff-backed sands, and into the rustic town of Carrapateira , with more wild,
untouched beaches, plus cafes and guesthouses catering to the surf-loving crowd. Head
south, and you'll reach the southern coast at pretty, laid-back Sagres , another surf-loving
town. Visit Sagres' sea-cliff fortress, then the surreal cliffs of Cabo de São Vicente . Go
east to Lagos , one of the Algarve's liveliest towns with loads of good sleeping, eating
and drinking options. Afterwards, go inland to Monchique , with its densely wooded hill-
sides that offer picturesque walking, cycling and pony-trekking opportunities, followed by
a spa visit in Caldas de Monchique . Back on the coast, stay overnight in the lively Faro
, before journeying out to the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa , a lagoon system full of
marsh, creeks and dune islands. From there, head to Tavira , set with genteel 18th-century
buildings straddling the Rio Gilão.
