The Silves municipality
The whole Silves municipality, in one place.
The Moorish capital of the Algarve, crowned by the region’s finest castle and surrounded by orange groves along the Arade, with Armação de Pêra holding the concelho’s coast. This is everything happening across it: the towns, the beaches, the events and the businesses, brought together and kept current by the community.
