Algarve's Hidden Treasures

Explore the southern coast of Portugal through its geological and architectural landmarks. This collection features the dramatic limestone stacks of Ponta da Piedade and the sea caves of Benagil. It includes Faro’s 18th-century Baroque churches, such as Igreja do Carmo with its bone chapel, and the historic anchor graveyard at Praia do Barril. These sites highlight the region's maritime history, from 20th-century lighthouses to traditional tuna fishing heritage, alongside secluded beaches sheltered by high ochre cliffs.
