The Algarve / Central Algarve region
The Algarve is one of the sunniest places in Europe, with over 3,000 sunshine hours per year. The summers can be hot, but there is usually a refreshing breeze by the coast. Spring and Autumn are ideal times for outdoor pursuits, such as golfing, biking, walking. The winters are mild and very often sunny, but do expect a few rainy days any time between October and March.
The Atlantic coastline offers a spectacular variation of scenery from dramatic limestone cliff formations surrounding tiny coves, to long, flat, sandy beaches ideal and safe for family holidays.
Go inland, and the mountains of Monchique provide a totally different viewpoint (and on some days a totally different climate) to the coastal areas. The terrain here makes it ideal for all types of activities, from off–road biking, hiking and quad biking to walking and simply enjoying the spectacular scenery.
The western facing side of the Algarve is certainly worth a visit. The beaches are beautiful and clean and the scenery fantastic – but be prepared for more wind and colder water! A favourite spot for windsurfers.
Go east of Faro and you will find the Ria Formosa, a protected part of the coast cut off from the sea by sand–spits, forming large areas of marshlands and lagoons teeming with wildlife.
Further east beyond Tavira the coast runs off towards Spain with mile after mile of Golden flat sand.
Albufeira / Central Albufeira area
Albufeira itself is a bustling resort with an abundance of fantastic beaches and coves. There are two parts to the town - The "Old Town" and The "Strip". Although developed over the years the Old Town has retained its charm and character and offers something for all ages. There is a huge choice of good bars and restaurants, a variety of live music and an assortment of shops. Its beaches are long and sandy. The Strip and the surrounding area are relatively newly developed and very popular with the young with many bars, restaurants and clubs which line the street. There are some lovely beaches down this end of town including Praia da Oura and Santa Eulalia.
Go east or west of Albufeira and you will come across mile upon mile of beautiful beaches.
A wide range of activities are available within the area. Golfing, tennis and horse riding are all within a 10 minute drive. Other organised activities such as fishing trips, scuba diving, sailing, safari trips can all be organised from Albufeira. For the children Zoomarine, Krazyworld and other Water Parks are within an easy drive or transport is provided by the parks if booked in advance. There is a variety of watersports on offer at the local beaches.
