Algarve Guide + Map | RuaMar Unforgettable Experience

The 120-pin map plus a 35-page field guide and phone-ready app. Three to ten slow days in the Algarve and its good detours, edited like a local friend handed you the plan. €30.

This is the one most people want. The map shows you where; the guide tells you when, why, and what to order once you sit down.

Algarve + the Good Detours is a phone-friendly field guide and interactive map built to flex from a long weekend to a slow week. You get the full 120-pin map and a 35-page guide written the way you'd actually want a friend to brief you, not a list of beaches, but how to spend your days and evenings: the cafe worth the early walk before the market, the long lunch worth clearing the afternoon for, the cliff path that's best an hour after everyone else has gone back to the pool.

Inside the 35 pages you'll find suggested three-to-ten-day routes with daily breakdowns and timing tips: a west-coast run from Lagos to Sagres; a centre built around Silves, the vineyards and the famous beaches; a slow east of Tavira, Olhao and the lagoon islands; and the cool inland day up to Monchique and Foia. Every entry tells you the best time to go, who the place is best for, and what to pair it with before or after. There are sections you won't find on the standard lists: the quiet east coast done properly, vineyard lunches inland, and the wild Costa Vicentina beyond the resorts.

The whole thing lives on your phone. Save it once on up to 3 devices and it's yours, online or off, for the entire trip. The map and the guide talk to each other, so when the guide names a place, it's already a pin you can tap and walk to.

Built for travelers who want the Algarve edited, not overwhelming. You'll still see the headline beaches, you'll just see them at the right hour, from the right path, with somewhere good to land afterward.
