Skip the crowded Algarve beaches and drive up to these peaks for the best views in Portugal. The air stays crisp and the local medronho firewater hits different. Book the small-group day tour from Lagos if you want a reliable guide who knows the best vineyards for tasting sessions. Budget about four hours to explore the winding streets properly. Avoid going on cloudy days because you won't see anything. Pack a jacket; it’s always colder up here.
