Algarve, Portugal
Written By evan brodie
Quick Takeaways
Boat ride of caves is a must. Make sure the boat is small and has rubber sides so that you can go inside the caves, or better yet kayak. The company we used was AllBoats
Albufeira was convenient because we could walk to the marina but I wouldn’t recommend the town because it was touristy
If you end up in Albufeira have a meal at Prazeres
Tavira is a small town on coast definitely worth a visit
The Caves!
