The hidden side of the Algarve can be discovered by car

Video Playing Now: Driving in the Algarve

Hiring a car is a great way to get around and discover a local area.

In the video on this page, Sky Travel presenter Jo Sinnott travels to Portugal to discover some of the places you can explore by car in the Algarve.

First stop, Silves, the old Moorish capital of the region. Here Jo takes a look around the town with its Islamic influences and historic cathedral and castle.

Elsewhere Jo discovers the rugged beaches of the West Coast and shops in some traditional markets.

By car, you're able to drive the complete south coast in a day and more easily able to find out about the regions unique charm and culture.

Sky Travel can organise car hire for you, just head to the Book Travel box on the homepage.
