The Algarve, Portugal’s southernmost region, is famous for its warm climate, stunning sandy beaches, dramatic clifftops and high-quality golf resorts. The ocean, in every shade of blue, is mostly warm and calm. There are also mountains with plenty of scenic hiking trails like the Bordeira hiking trail. Whether you are after an active break, a tranquil retreat, waterpark thrills or buzzing nightlife, the Algarve has it all. It’s a hassle-free holiday destination to travel to as well, it’s only a 3-hour flight away, its safe, people are very friendly and easy to communicate with and facilities are of a high standard. The majority of holidaymakers are drawn to the central and western regions, between Lags and Vale do Lobo. Portuguese love their food and sweet treats and in the Algarve it’s the seafood that dominates the dining tables. For a truly Portuguese twist on salted cod, try bacalhau. Top it all off with a tasty custard tart (pastel de nata) and wash it down with a glass of locally-produced white, red or green wine. Algarve has a rich history, full of European, African and Arabic influences. Despite the Great Earthquake of 1755, which ruined much of the historical architecture, a few ancient structures can still be found across the region.
Why book Algarve holidays?
When to go
The Algarve has a Mediterranean climate, and the weather is pleasant year-round. Temperatures in summer reach mid to late 20’s and in winter circa 15°C. Shoulder months are still warm enough to enjoy a bit of walking and cycling when the tourist crowds have thinned out. Sea breeze keeps the weather conditions comfortable, and rain isn’t a concern between June and September. There’s plenty of sunshine from January to December with 13 hours of sun in the summer and 10 hours of sun in winter.
BEST OF THE
Planning a holiday is always an exciting time, but knowing where to start can often cause confusion.
