No Experience Required

Salted air, palm-lined promenades and the steady hum of Segway motors set the scene as you roll away from Quarteira’s beachfront. Within minutes the pale sands of Praia da Falésia stretch beside you, the cliffs rising in bands of ochre that seem to lean toward the sea, while the Atlantic dares you to look out over the surf.
