Heritage Tour: Portugal – Unveiling the Western Frontier of Al-Andalus

Join us for a specially curated 6-day tour of Portugal offering a mixture of history, culture, cuisine and coastal beauty. Beginning in Lisbon, the capital, we explore the vibrant neighbourhoods of Baixa and Alfama, and the nearby town of Sintra, famed for its palaces, and Arabic influenced castle.

Main Locations: Lisbon, Sintra, Évora, Mértola, Silves

We then head inland to Évora, with its iconic Roman ruins, followed by Mértola where Portugal’s only remaining medieval mosque building still lies intact, albeit as a church.

Our tour is concluded in the picturesque Algarve region where vestiges of Islamic architecture can be seen in towns such as Silves, Faro and Tavira. This tour provides a unique insight into the deep and often overlooked legacy of Islam in the western part of the Iberian Peninsula.

The package covers 5 nights in 4-star accommodation, breakfast, private ground transport, experienced tour guide, and entrance fees. Flights are not included. This event is NOT FREE. For further information please contact: E-mail: [email protected]
