The Beaches Route in the Algarve is based on my day trip (round trip), where I rented a car from the city of Albufeira and headed to Sagres (1 hour and 10 minutes via A22). Then, on the way back, I stopped at each of the points: Sagres Lighthouse, Cordoama Viewpoint, Lagos, Lagoa, and Albufeira (an average of 30 minutes away each).

Albufeira

Firstly, this day trip along the Algarve Coast was carried out during my voluntary exchange, so I started the journey from Albufeira where I was staying. When exploring Albufeira, begin with Fisherman's Beach, where calm waters invite for a refreshing swim.
