The Algarve / West Algarve region

The Algarve is holiday heaven - sunshine, natural bays, dramatic cliffs and warm seas. Sagres is small and sweet, while Lagos is the good-looking carnival queen of the resorts. There are unspoilt islands in the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa, fascinating old towns at Tavira and Silves (the former Moorish capital), and lovely wooded hills in the interior. The Algarve offers everything from a beach holiday to golf with spectacular scenery and plenty of history.

The weather? In a word, lovely. There's barely a winter - it's sun, sun, sun almost all year round, with the mercury sometimes nudging up above 30°C in summer.

** Our apartment is approximately 12 minutes from Algarve Motor Park, host to the final round of the 2008 World Superbike Championship on November 2, 2008. **

Lagos is situated in the western Algarve and has all the ingredients for a wonderful holiday experience - great weather, plenty of attractions, a friendly atmosphere, a wide selection of restaurants and bars, excellent beaches and fantastic golf courses. Its easy-going atmosphere attracts visitors of all ages, all-year round. The town is approximately 50 minutes drive from Faro airport, and our apartment is just five minutes from the A22 motorway. This ancient port city is today one of the most popular holiday destinations on the Algarve, sited as it is within walking distance of some excellent beaches. The most splendid beach is Meia Praia to the east of town; the southern promontory features some sheltered cove beaches; while Praia de Dona Ana is picturesque and quoted to be the most photographed beach in the Algarve.

Besides an ongoing flea market that sprawls through the streets, Lagos boasts numerous fascinating shops and boutiques, especially in the pedestrianised old city. Eating out is part of the pleasure of a holiday on the Algarve, and Lagos offers the best of the best choices of establishments in which to indulge. The centre of Lagos comes alive in the evenings with buskers and street entertainers. The nightlife in Lagos can compete with any holiday resort in the Algarve, with several energetic dance clubs and character-filled bars strewn through the main part of town.

There is little need to do anything more to enjoy your holiday other than sprawl on the sandy beach with an occasional dip in the ocean, but those who need more activity can choose between dozens of pursuits like sailing, wind-surfing, fishing, para-sailing, microlight flights and scuba diving. Golf is a major attraction here, as it is throughout the Algarve, with the Palmares, Boavista and Alto courses nearby, offering a round with sea views. There is also the challenge of the Penina Championship Course, site of many a Portuguese Open.

Information on local attractions and villages is provided in the comprehensive information book located in our apartment.
