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

Further details outdoors: On the 30 minute ride from Faro airport, stop at one of the roadside farm shops and buy 10 kilos of oranges for €4. Using the juicer in the apartment you can now enjoy the sweetest, freshest orange juice you will ever taste whilst lying back in the heated Jacuzzi whirlpool we imported from USA. Noted as the best apartment in Balaia for enjoying the panoramic views over the rolling green hills of the driving range and the sea beyond, you will never feel crowded on our top floor balconies. Our daughter learned to ride a bike up here, that's how big it is!
