A slow drive from Lisbon to the Algarve — fishing villages, long lunches, and the stays I actually loved.

Day 1 · Lisbon send-off

Stay

Palácio Azul

Lisbon · rooftop bar

★★★★★★★★★★5.0
Start in the city, then drive out. The rooftop at sunset is the send-off.

Day 2 · Down to the Alentejo

Stay

Quinta dos Gansos

Évora · olive grove

★★★★★★★★★★5.0
Two nights here. Book the Olive Suite if it's free — the grove views are the whole point.

Day 3 · Alentejo plains

Capela dos Ossos, then a slow lunch

Day 4 · West to the cape

Stay

Refúgio da Costa

Sagres · wild coast

★★★★★★★★★★5.0
There's no phone signal and that's the point. Watch the sunset from the cliff cabin.

Day 5 · Surf and cliffs

Stay

Hotel Mar Bravo

Lagos · steps to the cove

★★★★★★★★★★5.0

Activity

Last swim, then north

Algarve · the drive home

★★★★★★★★★★4.0
One more swim before the A2. You'll be glad you didn't rush it.
