Wonderful day with Luís to Silves and Monchique 🤩🙂

Luís is a very nice guide, always smiling, very polite and friendly. We visited Silves Castle, Silves cathedral, Silves market and we had a picnic in a very peaceful and lovely place in Monchique, we visited the Parque da Mina, and we went to the top of Monchique mountains where we had a nice view of the countryside and on Portimão. We also visited the artisanal marketplace of Monchique. I really had a wonderful time with Luís who is an excellent driver. I recommend this excursion to anyone.
