Places of Interest:
The Algarve is a beautiful area of Portugal and no visit would be complete without a trip to Cape St Vincent, the southernmost tip of Europe where the Atlantic ocean meets the Mediterranean. Monichique, a mountain Spa north of Portimao is well worth a visit to experience the magnificent views to the south and the Atlantic to the west. The beautiful wild Atlantic coast is undeveloped and is approached through dense pinewoods to the north of Vila da Bispo. Closer to the villa, for the more energetic, are the magnificent coastal walks along cliff-tops passing through unspoilt countryside with magnificent views along the coast.
