CULTURE - WHERE TO STAY IN SILVES VACATION RENTALS
Where to stay during Silves vacations which are located in an historical town in the Algarve with its abundance of orange and lemon trees, whitewashed buildings with orange tiled roofs is situated on a hill overlooking the Arade River. The town was an ancient Moorish stronghold during the 700's and as such has a large Moorish Castle that dominates its skyline. History can be found everywhere in Silves which reminds visitors of its affluent and swashbuckling past as a Moorish capital. Silves is an ideal place for that truly relaxed holiday where one will find excellent local cafes and restaurants, a variety of vacation accommodations and interesting historic places to visit. Silves is located slightly inland and north of Carvoeiro and Portimão, only a few miles from the coast, so vacationers can have the best of either a place in the country and/or a day at the seaside.
