Sightseeing

Marvel at the Rock Formations of Ponte da Piedade The rock formations at Ponte da Piedade are truly magical. The headland here is particularly dramatic, with pillars and archers abound. Watching the turquoise waters crash against the towering rock formations is a great way to spend the afternoon, that is, if you can bring yourself to make your way down the many steps that lead to the waters edge. If you go to watch the sunrise at Praia do Camilo, I’d highly recommend walking up to Ponte da Piedade afterwards, which you’ll find lit up with golden light. When planning your visit here however, bear in mind that swimming is not permitted during the summer, due to the many boat trips and tours that pass through the waters.

30 minutes outside of Lagos is the breathtaking Benagil Cave, or Gruta de Benagil as it’s known by the locals. This sea cave is often considered to be one of the best in the world as a result of its soft sands and expansive dome stretching 20m high. There are plenty of kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and boat tours that allow you to explore this phenomenal natural wonder, which is only accessible via sea.

Lagos is one of the most charming towns in the Algarve. Exploring the cobbled streets, tiled buildings, and unique doorways is a great way to spend a morning. If you enjoy photography, you’ll probably find yourself doing more standing than strolling, as every building evokes the classic charm of Portugal! Make sure to check out one of the towns most famous spots – the emerald green building that stands in the main square. This impressive piece of architecture is actually a gift shop called Obrigado!

This 7.4 mile trail runs along the Algarve’s rocky coast and boasts gorgeous views of the wild sea and sun-kissed cliffs. It’s not a circular route, so you’ll have to organise a drop-off/pick-up but it’s well worth it for the incredible scenery on offer. If you’re interested in Benagil Cave but aren’t sure if you want to shell out for a tour, this route also provides a great view from above the cave! I really wish that I’d done this during my stay and will definitely be making time for it if I ever make a return visit! If you’re looking for more information on hiking the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, I’d highly recommend a blogpost by Brainy Backpackers, which has all the information you could need.

Mar d’Estórias intends to be an innovative place that values everything Portuguese with special emphasis on the Algarve. It was planned to provide a balanced passage between the different areas of the shop, the restaurant, the art gallery and crowned by the rooftop terrace bar with a sea view.

Customs, traditions and actions dictate the identity of a people. Mar d’Estórias tells the stories of these people, close to the sea, in a building that is an infallible testament to time. The idea is that you enjoy this story and become a part of it.
