Description

Good to Know

Join us on a journey of discovery of the inland Algarve, specifically the area known as "Barrocal", - a journey to delight your senses, awaken your curiosity and whet your appetite for more… Our first port of call is to the small town of São Brás de Alportel - quite typical of the Algarve in its architecture and activities. Here we visit a cork factory. The cork that is harvested in the surrounding area is brought to this factory, prepared, treated and then exported. We explore a local bakery renowned for its traditional produce - carob bread, almond cakes and honey cakes. There is time also to visit the fascinating São Brás Ethnographic Museum. Onward we go to Salir - a bucolic village where you can see the remnants of the ancient castle and its walls. Ou last stop will be at one of the most beautifull villages in the Algarve: Alte! There will be time to stroll through its small alleys and enjoy the peacefull calm that is so typical from this region!

Awesome way to see the non commercial side of the Algarve!

What a fabulous day we had with the Portitours team! Our guide for the day was the amazing and hilarious George aka Shrooney! (Half Shrek half George Clooney apparently) There was a constant multi lingual commentary loads of laughs all day! If you want to see more of the true Portuguese way of life this is a great snap shot! There were 5 Landrovers with 8 people in each and the terrain was at times interesting but safe! Mountain roads, river beds, tracks all were experienced! We learned abo...read more

Flavours & Traditions of the Algarve tour

We took the Flavours & Traditions tour. Wonderful to see the beautiful countryside and small towns. Our guide and driver, Luis, was really great: friendly, very knowledgeable, excellent driver. The cork factory tour in Sao Bras de Alportel and the small museum of castle ruins in Salir were very interesting. Highly recommend the tour.

Déçu pour le repas

Agence qui propose excursion en 4x4. Véhicule de type Defender . Certains seront assis sur les banquettes arrières latérales. On vient vous chercher devant l'hôtel. Un beau parcours avec plusieurs passages de gué. On monte jusqu'au sommet de l'Algarve avec sa vue panoramique. Le repas au restaurant c'est le minimum. Poulet frites. Rien de très local. Arrêt dans une miellerie et chez un bouilleur de cru local. Passage dans une zone d'exploitation du chêne liège. Le guide parle français, du moins ...read more

Waste of our time

We started out in a small group in a small van - 8 persons - from Portimao. Our first stop was to the “local cake shop” consisted of ushering the 2 bus groups (about 18 people) into the small shop and offering us a broken piece of 2 types of cookies. The only explanation from the “guide” was to read out the labels of the various types of bakery items that were for sale. The description in the program made it sound like we would have an opportunity to taste the “3 types of cakes baked there”. Ou...read more
