Portugal is becoming one of Europe's favourite destinations for those looking for charming cities, authentic gastronomy, and good weather, all year round. Apart from the already well-known and touristic Lisbon and Porto, if you prefer beach tourism you cannot miss the Algarve Coast.
The Algarve is a region in the south of Portugal, whose beaches are a historical heritage site and one of the best surfing spots in Europe. The best known city is Faro, capital of the region, but don't miss the opportunity to visit Lagos, Portimao, and Albufeira! The Algarve is also home to two of the most impressive landscapes in Portugal: the Benagil caves, half an hour from Portimao, and the Punta da Pietá, fifteen minutes from Lagos; imposing rock formations resulting from the erosion of wind and sea.
Portimao is one of the most beautiful towns in the Algarve and an ideal area for a dolphin-watching and guided boat tour to the Benagil Caves from Portimao. Departing from the port of Portimao, the captain will take you to Praia da Marinha, one of the best beaches in Portugal for its spectacular cliffs. You will then continue to the iconic Benagil Caves, where you will make a stop. This cave is a rocky cavity with two entrances and a crystal clear beach inside, but most impressive is the Algar de Benagil, an eye on the ceiling of the cave that illuminates the whole room.
The dolphin-watching and guided boat tour to the Benagil Caves from Portimao continues to other beaches and coves until you enter the Atlantic Ocean in search of dolphins.
