The Algarve region
Sandy beaches, sunny skies, white washed villas, fishing boats, golf courses and the scent of freshly grilled sardines are the classic images of the Algarve. The weather is mediterranean with most rain during the winter months. Most of the time the sky is blue and the temperatures are warm. Along the coast are many beautiful beaches some very large, others quiet, in amongst pine forests or small coves. Whether it is watersports, family beaches or beaches to get away from it all, you will find it in the Algarve. There are many interesting towns with narrow streets to wander around and see the Moorish and Arab influences on the buildings. Of course, some of the best golf courses are in the Algarve and alot of them are in the area of Loule. If you like shopping apart from the small quient shops in Loule there are two large shopping centres, both about 20 minutes drive from Loule. For children there are water parks and Zoo Marine where you can swim with dolphins!
Loule area
Loule still retains its typical Portuguese charm. There are narrow streets to wander around and a pretty pedestrian street with lots of small shops selling locally produced goods such as shoes, tiles, pottery, leather and wicker goods and linen. There are many coffee shops and restaurants that are not touristy. In the middle of the town is the daily recently refurbished market. Here you can buy fruit & veg., fish, meat and bread. On a Saturday it is larger when the local farmers also bring their produce. Also on a Saturday is the gypsie and flower market which is a large tourist attraction. In February and August Loule has a fantastic carnival which is said to be the best in the Algarve and is well worth seeing. At Christmas the festive lights in Loule are wonderful. As Loule is central in the Algarve and the road network has improved, you can drive to the west coast or into Spain within an hour, leaving everywhere in the Algarve very accessable. If you like an active holiday watersports, golf, tennis, cycling, horseriding, go-carting and long walks are all nearby. The area around the villa is also good for bird watchers. There are details of all these activities in the villa manual.
However, the most common day at Casa da Paz is lying by the pool, soaking up the sun and enjoying the peace and quiet!
