Overview

From the meeting point we head to the bubbling Loulé Market!
Smell the smells and discover the local products (bread, cakes, jams, honey, nuts, liqueurs, fish and more). Next, we'll visit the cork capital of the Algarve: São Brás de Alportel, where it all began: the extraction and processing of cork that provided work for many families and its export generated wealth for the area.
The first Portuguese bank was born here in the Casa Museu do Traje, and from here there will be time for lunch (not included in the tour). We'll then visit the cork factory.

A wonderful day with a friendly, patient and knowledgeable guide with an excellent sense of humour as a bonus! We were shown around the Loule market and surrounding area, a small colonial museum and the highlight for us, the cork factory- excellent hands-on review of the cork industry. Carla showed her passion for Portugal in her answers to all our questions! A fun time, and great to learn more as it was our first time in Portugal / Algarve. Truly a comfortable and worthwhile tour! Thanks Carla and JeepSafari Tours!
