The Algarve region
The Algarve is the southern most region of Portugal and a beloved holiday destination well known for glorious year round sunshine and excellent sandy beaches. These vary from secluded coves with amazing cliffs to vast stretches of golden sand all sea washed by the fresh and clear Atlantic ocean.
Inland you will find quaint villages barely touched by tourism, and surrounded by peaceful countryside. With miles of beautiful orange, almond and olive groves.
The Algarve is a children's haven with several exciting water parks, 'Zoomarine' sealife centre, horse riding centres and plenty of fun on the beaches! Whatever your preference, you will find your personal paradise in the Algarve.
However, if you fancy a drive into Spain then the border is only a 50 minute drive and Seville approx two hours depending on traffic.
