The Algarve / Central Algarve region

A wonderful sunny climate with a pleasant breeze and great beaches makes the Algarve one of the most popular resorts in Europe. There is something for everyone - plenty of great golf courses, water parks, water sports, old castles/buildings and varied scenery provide suitable options for everyone. The area around Albufeira has excellent facilities for all your holiday needs - shopping, entertainment and plenty of bars and restaurants.

Although many people come to the Algarve for these reasons, there is much more to this area than the traditional beach holiday and a short journey inland will reveal the quaint villages of the old Portugal. There are many places of architechtural interest nearby and the old town of Albufeira is worth a visit, as is the marina at Vilamoura. On top of the excellent facilities and the great climate, the Portugese are very friendly and will make you feel welcome.
