Gruta do Xorino Description
The Gruta do Xorino are where the revolutionaries sought refuge in 1833 when Albufeira was besieged by monarchist Miguelists. They reached the caves by an underground tunnel and from there fled by boat to Faro. Fishermen offer boat trips to the Xorino Grottos from the center of Albufeira; it is also possible to walk to them along a cliff path.
