Lisbon and the Algarve

In this program, we start in Lisbon, where salty sailors’ quarters and wistful Fado singers mix with ornate architecture to recall the glory days when Vasco da Gama and Magellan made Portugal a world power. Then on to the Algarve where we explore the Land’s End of Europe — windy and historic Cape Sagres — before savoring pristine beaches and arm-wrestling octopuses in the sleepy fishing village of Salema. © 2004 Rick Steves’ Europe
