Rick Steves' Europe

S03E12 Lisbon and the Algarve

Title: Discovering Lisbon and the Algarve Plot: Embarking on an unforgettable journey through Portugal, we begin in Lisbon, a vibrant blend of charming history and lively modernity. The nostalgic Fado melodies and the bustling sailors’ districts echo the era when explorers like Vasco da Gama and Magellan elevated Portugal to global prominence. Next, we venture to the picturesque Algarve, the southern jewel of Europe. Here, we uncover the historic Cape Sagres, known as the Land's End, before unwinding on stunning beaches and engaging in playful octopus wrestling in the quaint fishing village of Salema.
