The Algarve is probably the best known part of Portugal and one of the best holiday destinations in the world. Washed in the south and west by the Atlantic and protected in the north by the mountain ranges makes for a mild climate.
Temperatures for the area average 24 degrees in the summer and 15 degrees in the winter, with the sun shining constantly for most of the year. The region benefits from 150 km of beaches, along which, the warm African wind blows providing endless possibilities for sports, such as horse riding, walking, diving, tennis and golf.
The Algarve
The Portuguese Algarve offers sunshine breaks and relaxing holidays surrounded by golden beaches on the coast of calm sea waters. Sun-kissed tourists can relax and sample the delights that this wonderful region of Portugal has to offer.
Everywhere you go, you are surrounded by bright colours, from the golden sands, to the crystal clear waters, the clear blue skies, the vivid green grass, and the white-washed walls of the buildings in the Algarve's old towns.
