Carvoeiro, Portugal
Carvoeiro is a must stop. The beautiful village has countless rocky beaches that
are perfect for relaxing and taking some cool pictures. Praia do Carvoeiro is in
the village but then you have Praia da Marinha, Praia do Carvalho and Praia de
Benagil a few minute drive away from the center. Benagil in particular has
beautiful caves that are worth exploring. It is a very touristy attraction so
make sure you get the best price. If you go by car, it’s worth pointing out that
the parking spots are not abundant, so maybe go early. Have a drink at the Algar
Seco and see the sunset.

so do a first swipe through them all and then decide where you want to go.

Sagres, Portugal
Sagres is also a must stop. It’s a bit less touristy and since it’s more
exposed, it’s a bit cooler. The city has a strong maritime tradition that is
quite palpable, so we advise you to have some seafood by the ocean. Visit Cabo
São Vicente and Fortaleza de Sagres, and just relax before going on the road
again.

has a castle and a cute old town that is worth visiting. Visit Praia da
Arrifina, Praia Monte Clérigo and Praia da Amoreira and maybe try some surf
lessons. Other than that, expect the weather to be a bit cold during the night,
so bring a jacket.
