Bask in the gentle glow of Portugal’s winter sun on this relaxing escape to the Algarve, with the added charm of a visit to Seville, the birthplace of flamenco.

Begin your holiday with a flight to Faro, where your tour manager will greet you before you continue to your four-star hotel in Monte Gordo. Settle in with a full day at leisure to enjoy the mild climate and golden beaches. Your first excursion takes you to the dramatic Cape St. Vincent region. Explore Lagos, with its walled old town and ornate churches, discover Sagres, and admire the views from Cape St. Vincent, Europe’s most south-westerly point. After another day soaking up the sun at your hotel or exploring independently, travel to lively Seville, with its orange-scented streets and Andalusian architecture.

Enjoy a further day at leisure to embrace the Algarve’s year-round sunshine before joining an optional outing to three delightful towns. Browse the bustling fish markets of Olhão, wander through Faro’s charming old town, and complete your journey in palm-lined Tavira, a UNESCO-recognised gem celebrated for its culinary traditions and cultural heritage.
