What To Expect
Mercado de Loule
Loulé Market is one of the most iconic of the Algarve, known for its Moorish-influenced architecture and vibrant atmosphere. Situated in the city centre, this covered market is a meeting point for locals and visitors. Inaugurated in 1908, it offers a wide range of fresh products, such as fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and regional products, including honey, cheeses, fillings and Algarve-typical sweets. In addition to food, the market is also a place where local artisans exhibit their work, from ceramics and basketwork to traditional souvenirs. This market authentically reflects the Algarve culture and everyday life, providing a unique experience for those who wish to immerse themselves in the traditions and flavors of the region. On Saturdays, the movement is even more intense, with local producers bringing their fresh and handmade products for outdoor sale, reinforcing the role of the market as the commercial heart of Loulé.
Salir
Salir is a picturesque village in the county of Loulé, located at the foot of the Serra do Caldeirão. With historical origins dating back to Muslim occupation, it stands out for its ruined castle and surrounding natural landscape, ideal for hiking and observing the local flora and fauna. The tranquility of the village and its traditions make Salir an authentic and captivating destination in the Algarve interior.

We had a fantastic day...

5.00We had a fantastic day out on this tour. Our tour guide Bruno was excellent. He took us to see the alternative Portugal where locals live and work. The farmers market at Loule was fantastic as was the walk through the town meeting local artists and crafts people. Bruno knows the area very well and took us to the best sights. Lunch was good too on a small Resteraunt in Alte. He also gave us lots of information about life in Portugal which you don’t see in the tourist areas.
Great experience

5.00the tour is well organized, so you have great variety. You don’t have to walk long on challenging paths, nor do you have too much time in the car between stops. Bruno is super friendly and responsive to the wishes of guests. It explains a lot of interesting information, but also leaves room for you to look at something in peace. You can tell that he cares about the experiences of the guests and likes his work
Excellent notion of the algarve from sea to sea

5.00We were very grateful for having recommended us the services of the Algar Tour, this was the type of tour we were looking for and that fortunately allowed us to get to know the interior of the Algarve and its landscapes that for moments made us forget about the entire coastline, it was a fantastic experience and Bruno made all the difference with his knowledge about the region is a true local guide who grew up in the city of Loulé where we visited the typical Market and the Modern Church of the Sovereign Mother!
Great trip by a local guide to unique sites.

5.00Fantastic experience, worth every penny! Our guide Bruno led us to parts of the Algarve that we would never have discovered on our own. We learned many local curiosities that made the trip even more special. We highly recommend! – Michał and Wiola
