The 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 is an ideal time 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 / Gale area

In the immediate area, you have a fantastic choice of beaches and coves. Galé, a beautiful long sandy beach stretching a few kilometres is the nearest, being approximately a 5 minute walk. This is good for swimming and for the energetic a good beach walk. It is also a fabulous spot from where to watch the Algarve's beautiful sunsets. Lourenço is also about the same distance. This is a favourite with children as it has lots of rock pools and rocks to climb over. Others such as Evaristo, Castelo, Coelha and São Rafael are just a few minutes in the car. There are also many coves scattered along this part of the coast, some only accessible by foot.

Within easy walking distance there is a choice of good restaurants ranging from traditional Portuguese to Indian and Chinese.

There is a good supermarket about a 5 minute walk away where you can buy most things for your everyday needs.

Less than 10 minutes by car is Albufeira Old Town which has a never-ending choice of restaurants and bars, a beautiful long sandy beach, live music venues, the Square which in the summer months hosts a lot of traditional entertainment, an abundance of shops and altogether a great atmosphere. It offers something for both young and old. Just a bit further on and you will come to the "Strip" where you can party until the early hours of the morning.

For the golfers in your party Salgados (an 18 hole links course) is a few minutes drive or about a 15 minute walk. The 9 hole courses at Balaia and Pinecliffs are on the other side of Albufeira, about a 15 minute drive. Many others, such as the 5 award winning courses of Vilamoura, Vale de Milho, Gramacho and Penina, are no more than a 30 minute drive.

Many water parks are within easy reach - Aqualand, Zoomarine (where you can swim with the Dolphins), Slide and Splash, Aqua Show, Atlantic Park. If you haven't got a car, then buses will pick you up from a point a few minutes walk from the house.

There are numerous outdoor activities available an easy car ride away - water sports, tennis, horse riding, biking and much more. For those of you who like walking then there are cliff top walks and beach walks.
