The Algarve / East Algarve region
With its stunning coastline, excellent golf courses and pleasant year round climate,the Algarve's 200 kilometre stretch of southern shoreline has become one of Europe's most popular holiday destinations. Bordered on two sides by the Atlantic Ocean, the Algarve is divided from the rest of Portugal by a series of low lying mountains. In the east, the Guardiana River forms a scenic border with neighbouring Spain.
There is a clear definition between the Western Algarve and the East. Whilst the West shows more development towards tourism, the Eastern Algarve and its tidal marshlands still have a tranquil beauty, and the small resorts along the coast have retained much of their character, looking today as they must have looked long ago. Here, tourism blends in perfectly with local activities creating a relaxed way of life. There is a tinge of excitement and even romance about the ferry boat trips to the beach islands, where visitors are rewarded with superb, less crowded bathing beaches and warm waters.
The sea water temperature is around 14c in January and reaches a high 22c in August. A pleasant sea breeze refreshes the temperatures of the region, which are around 15c in January and up to 28c or more in July and August. The Algarve can also count on around 3.000 hours of Sun during the year which makes it a favourite destination for those who fancy such a sunny climate. The autumn and winter months are mild, but you will need a jacket in the evening and some kind of heating in your apartment or hotel room. January is the coolest month of the year.
Tavira / Conceicao area
This apartment offers an excellent standard of self catering accommodation and is situated close to road, train and bus routes. Everything you could wish for is in close proximity. The small and quaint village of Conceicao has a mini-market, butchers, several coffee bars and restaurants only 2 minutes walk away! For a little more enjoyment, the seaside resort of Cabanas is around 1km away and whilst filled with shops bars and restaurants offers a local fishing village charm. There are many different places to eat including Portuguese, Italian and English cuisines, a range of friendly local Tascas and several late night bars, although the night-life is generally relaxed and low-key.
BEACHES The Algarve is famous for its wonderful sandy shores and there are an abundance of excellent clean beaches within a few minutes drive. By foot, the closest to the apartment is the Cabanas Beach Island which is reached by small boat from the fishing village of Cabanas around 1km away.
THE BEAUTIFUL TOWN OF TAVIRA - 5 kms
When staying in Conceicao a visit to the beautiful town of Tavira is essential! You will not fail to be enthralled by its unspoilt charm, character and tranquility. As you wander along the cobbled streets, you'll see an abundance of history dating as far back as 2000BC. A Roman bridge links the 2 parts of the town across the River Gilao, its sides decorated with traditional old bars and restaurants where you can relax and enjoy a peaceful drink or meal. Horse drawn carriages and a small train operate around the town and are perfect for sightseeing and enjoying the peaceful ambience. The many churches (37 in total!), the town castle and the typical fisherman's harbour leading to the Ria Formosa Natural Park are all places to visit, along with the wonderful daily market selling fresh home grown produce. Tavira Island and its wonderful beach is accessible by ferry boat from the town and offers excellent facilities with a wonderful holiday atmosphere.
