The Algarve region
The Algarve is a very popular holiday destination with over 3000 hours of sunshine a year and a coastline that is similar to Cornwall. Historically there is a strong North African influence which is evident in the local architecture of the historical town of Lagos and the Moorish Castle at Silves. The most westerly point in Europe Cape St Vincent, Sagres and Henry the Navigator School of Navigation just a short drive away. The West Coast of Portugal is well worth a visit as it is totally unspoilt with small villages and sandy bays just waiting to be explored. Boat trips from the marina at Lagos range from dolphin expeditions to a leisurely sailing trip along the coast. Monchique the highest point on the Algarve is a lovely picturesque drive with many villages, bars and restaurants on route.
After the sight seeing there are a number of Waterparks, Zoomarine, Lagos Zoo and many other attractions to keep everyone entertained. Oh of course there is also shopping for shoes and ceramics amongst the many shops at the Algarve Shopping Centre and Faro.
