The go-to Algarve travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours.
Strap on your boots and discover Algarve on foot with the Sunflower Algarve travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours.
The Sunflower Algarve guide is indispensable for hiking in Algarve or seeing Algarve by car. Away from the busy beaches, the Algarve has a countryside full of interest and beauty, quietly awaiting discovery. From flowers and fountains, hilltops and history, to windmills and water-mills, this book will set your feet wandering to find them all.
There are car tours, too, to get you out and about, searching out little-known points of interest-like the huge rose compass (rosa dos ventos) on the barren promontory of Sagres, where Prince Henry the Navigator founded his school of navigation, or the Moorish castle and old Roman bridge at Paderne.
But don't think for one moment that we have turned our backs on and ignored the beautiful and rugged western coastline. Wherever it is still unspoilt and free from development, the authors have incorporated it into a walk. Whatever your age or ability we've got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable Algarve holiday.
Inside the Sunflower Algarve guide book you'll find:
55 long and short walks for all ages and abilities - each walk is graded so you can easily match your ability to the level of walk

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Since 1983 people out walking in sunny climes have been relying on our 'little blue books' to follow the trails - and to make friends with other walkers. Sunflower started by exploring the Atlantic Islands, but has branched out: we still love islands - from the Azores to Zakynthos - but we cover many mainland destinations too, like land-locked Switzerland and the coastal Basque Country. All our guides have the familiar mix of car tours, walks and picnics. More recently, we introduced restaurants and recipes in our 'Walk & Eat' series, which explores around cities from Stockholm to Avignon.
