Unspoilt Algarve: Nossa Senhora do Carmo, Olhao, Santa Luzia, Tavira

"Stop here and think of the fate that will befall you." This is the inscription over the doorway of the bone chapel at the Nossa Senhora do Carmo, which is your first stop today. Continue to the Old Town and the 13th century Cathedral.

Drive to Olhao, a city built under Arabic rule influences and enjoy a visit to the waterfront markets and take a boat cruise through the Ria Formosa. Here you will see the tidal mill, salt pans and fisherman activities.

There is free time for lunch and visits before a drive to Santa Luzia in the afternoon where you will marvel at this picturesque and unspoiled village, known for its fishing activities.
