Looking for a riding holiday?The riding school provides for all tastes, be it a gentle hack through the scenic hillsides with magnificent views across Silves to the Monchique Mountains, Portimão and beyond, or a gallop along the almost forgotten tracks through orange and lemon groves and eucalyptus forests, or even a swim on horseback in the lake.

I first visited the Country Riding Centre about 7 years ago, so this was a must for our first time back in Silves since. I'm not a rider. I've sat on a tame horse a few times, but the lovely ladies here really put you at your ease. We went for a one hour beginners stroll. The scenery is beautiful. The stable yard is lovely. The horses are obviously well cared for and loved. Try to go early as it gets so hot. Also, long trousers and long sleeves are advisable. They provide boots and hats. Do it! You won't regret it. Even if you feel a bit nervous about being up on a horse.

With extensive parking and two well built boardwalks, access is very easy. When you get there the beach seems to stretch on forever in both directions. As a result it is never crowded, very peaceful and always litter-free. The swimming is easy with a safe gently sloped beach. The Western half from Mario's kiosk to the river mouth near Pera is naturist-friendly making this one of the best beaches on the Algarve and a credit to the beach management. We come back twice a year from England and love it.

This is a very friendly wine tour in a lovely setting - the team are funny and very kind. It's not a huge tour, but that doesn't matter. They are very knowledgable and the wine is delicious - and you get cheese and hams too - wonderful. We had a lot of fun! Thank you!

Have been to Silves Castle before but the condition of it now is greatly improved. We were able to walk around all the ramparts easily. Handrails have been added on some sections for added security. The admission fee was reasonable and overall its a credit to Silves...

This beautiful beach never fails to impress. Always so peaceful, always spotlessly clean. And so many wonderful restaurants close by where I love so sit and watch the surfers or just soak up the salty Atlantic air. Bliss
