Silves

If you love old-world charm, you’ll love the former capital of the Algarve where you can lunch in cafés along the River Arade or take in the expansive views of the countryside from the red-bricked castle. History buffs will love the Medieval Festival, where traditional food is plentiful – it's held every August.
