Know more about your day trip
The journey from Lagos to Quinta da Tor passes through the Algarve's interior wine region, where traditional estates produce distinctive wines using indigenous grape varieties in the Mediterranean climate and limestone soils.
Unlike beach-focused destinations, Quinta da Tor offers authentic rural Portuguese experiences including organic farming, traditional wine production, and insight into centuries-old agricultural practices in the Algarve's peaceful countryside interior.
This scenic viewpoint provides panoramic views over the historic town of Silves, the Arade River valley, and surrounding orange groves. The overlook offers excellent photo opportunities of traditional Algarve landscapes and Moorish architecture.
You'll have 2 hours at Quinta da Tor for estate tours and wine tastings, followed by 3 hours exploring Alte's traditional village atmosphere, natural springs, and local restaurants.
Alte maintains authentic Portuguese village life with traditional architecture, local crafts, and family-run restaurants serving regional cuisine. The village offers a genuine cultural experience away from crowded coastal resorts.
Alte specializes in regional dishes like migas (bread dish), local sausages, honey-based sweets, and traditional Portuguese soups. Local restaurants serve authentic Algarve cuisine using ingredients from surrounding farms and orchards.
The interior features rolling hills, almond and olive groves, traditional whitewashed villages, and authentic Portuguese rural culture. This contrasts sharply with the developed coastal areas.
