Portugal- Cerro Mar Atlantico and Cerro Mar Garden
Experience the unique beauty and charm of the Algarve!
Portugal’s Algarve province, with its magnetic Moorish appeal, has become a Mecca for snowbirds trying to escape the harsh reality of winter. It’s also one of Europe’s most picturesque and friendly holiday destinations. The Algarve is what most of us envision the Mediterranean to be. The whitewashed villages cascade into the sea. Cobblestoned streets are lined with outdoor cafes, bistros, wine bars, and markets full of fresh fruits and vegetables. The weather is wonderfully spring like and invigorating.
Your Portugal holiday includes transportation (as selected), accommodation (as selected), local transfers (airport/hotel/airport), and the services of a Travac Tours Director while at your destination.
Early booking is your best guarantee of enjoying this great holiday.
