"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.

Visit Tavira and the old castle ruins, see the Santa Maria do Castelo Church and the famous 4th century Roman bridge, before returning to your hotel.

Begin your private tour in Faro, where you will visit the Carmo church, the Jewish cemetery and the ethnographic Museum (to see the clothes of the Tuna fishermen).

Then visit Olhao, where you see the first streets of the city, and where today we still find fishermen sewing their nets. Visit one of the most typical and well known places of Olhao - the fish market - where you will see fish jumping on benches!

Lunch is in a charming restaurant (not included) before the next stop of Tavira, where tuna is of huge importance. See where people lived, which grocery stores housed tuna, schools where children of fishermen studied, tools fishermen used and the chapel where the fishermen prayed before they went out to sea.

Finish your tour in Villa Real Santo Antonio, which under the order of Marques de Pombal, was built in less than two years, and is where most of the tuna was sold.

Take a day out to discover this historic city founded by the Romans on the banks of the Guadalquivir River.
