Your destination for the day will be one of Europe's most important Marian shrines, Fatima. But first, you'll get some free time to explore the houses where the three little shepherds who saw Our Lady of Fatima were born in the hamlet of Aljustrel.
Then you'll arrive into Fatima shortly after, where you'll firstly have time to do some shopping and have lunch. Now it's the moment you've been waiting for - you'll visit the Sanctuary of Fatima, including the basilica, Chapel of the Apparitions and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity, known for its innovative architecture, where you'll have the chance to attend Mass.

Faro, Olhão & Tavira Tour with Fado Show
The east is one of the jewels in the Algarve's crown, and this full day excursion offers a flavour of its local culture as well as a chance to get to know its biggest city. You'll visit Faro, Olhao, and Tavira and travel through beautiful countryside in the Ria Formosa National Park. Sofia, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘This excursion is special because it brings the local culture to life. You'll see a performance of Fado music which is the heart of Portuguese tradition, a soulful singer fronts a group of musicians and together they convey passion, struggle, and longing. It's a hugely significant part of Portuguese culture.'We'll begin in Faro, the regional capital, where you'll have free time to explore the old town – the cathedral is a must-see. Next up is Olhao, a village on the banks of the Ria Formosa. You'll visit its famous fish market and then enjoy free time for lunch and shopping. Sofia adds, ‘As well as showcasing the fruits of the sea, the market is a good place to make contact with smallholders selling their own produce, such as honey, jams, cakes, and liqueurs.'In the afternoon, we'll head to Tavira to see its top sights and visit the castle for a stroll along its ramparts. Along with the castle, the seven-arched Roman bridge and a pair of historic churches are just a handful of the best things to do in Tavira. Cap off the day by dropping into a church for a live show of fado singing – the melancholic music genre that is a national treasure.

Some of Spain's most important monuments are in the spotlight on this guided tour, including the bullring, Santa Cruz and Plaza de España. You'll also have some free time to explore. Mariasol, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘I always feel uplifted when I visit the Plaza de España because it's so colourful. It is full of painted ceramic tilework, known as azulejos. Each azulejo depicts Spain's regional culture and heritage and every province is represented.'You'll strike out early for the Andalusian capital, allowing plenty of time to explore some of its cultural and architectural highlights. Once in Seville, your walking tour begins at the Moorish Torre Del Oro. You'll see Seville's bullring, the Real Maestranza, the Triana Bridge, and the Plaza d'America. Next, you'll visit the colonnaded Plaza de España – and the surrounding Maria Luiza Park.

Evening 4x4 Tour of Monchique Hills with Dinner
This trip has to be one of the best ways to discover the real Algarve. Jump into a 4x4, leave the coast behind and make your way up into the Monchique hills. You'll discover a different Algarve with a slower pace of life, one that most visitors never get to see. Ines, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘These hills are relatively untouched by the modern world, and this tour gives visitors a glimpse of traditional Portuguese life. Little farming villages dot the landscape, and you'll get to try local citrus fruit when we visit an orange grove at Silves.'Travelling in small groups winding along earth tracks and past tiny villages, you'll get a glimpse of a peaceful lifestyle that is quickly disappearing. After a stop at an orange grove, you'll explore the timeworn streets of the whitewashed village of Alferce, known for its pretty church which dates back to the 16th century. Any cultivatable patches of land in the area are filled with citrus orchards and eucalyptus groves. Next, you'll continue on your journey to explore the natural wilderness of ‘Barrancos dos Pisoes'.There'll be plenty of stops along the way to capture those perfect holiday pictures and then we'll travel up to the highest point in the Algarve. At this special viewpoint you'll watch the sky change colour as the sun sets and toast the view with a glass of sparkling wine. Hop back into the 4x4 and as darkness blankets the landscape, you'll head to a local restaurant for a traditional dinner including specialities from the Monchique hills.
