The boat rocks once, twice, and the Algarve opens up like a page turned by the wind. You step aboard at Praia dos Pescadores in Armação de Pêra, find the black Tridente flag and a crew with clipped local accents, and the engine hums south along a coastline cut into ochre cliffs. Within minutes the cliffs begin to lean toward the sea, and hollow mouths—caves carved by waves and time—greet the bow.
