Benagil was definitely a highlight, but what made it even better was getting to stop at several other hidden caves and grottos on the way back. It felt like a mini adventure exploring spots we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. A perfect way to enjoy the ocean and take in the scenery from a different perspective!”
