Enjoying the Algarve, Portugal.
Portugal’s ‘Gold Coast, the Algarve has got something for everybody. Covering the entire southern coast of the country, the region is renown for its quaint villages, spectacular beaches and suburb cuisine. Flying into the region is easy, with numerous low budget flights operating out of the conveniently located Faro International Airport. From here you are short drive to some of the Algarve best areas.
As you move from from East to West, the villages tend to become smaller and less busy. Vacationers looking for a bit of action mixed with sun - flock to the village of Albufeira. Known as the ‘capital’ of the Algarve you will find a large town that offers numerous restaurants, discos, luxury hotels and villas and professional golf courses. Next on the list is Portimao and Praia da Rocha. Here, the town is a bit more cozy with numerous plaza and parks. Praia da Rocha has some of the Algarve's most breath taking beaches, that are encompassed with bronzed colored bluffs, lovely white sand, and crystal clear blue waters.
Looking for more of a bohemian, international scene? Than continue across the coast to the village of Lagos. Get your bearings by heading to the port and hoping on a grottos tour boat to give you a up close take on the amazing rock formations that litter the coast. Eat with the locals at the Blue Door, a fantastic sea food restaurant located in the heart of the town. If you are looking for a good drink and a place to meet, cruise over to the notorious ‘Bonvivant’ bar and club. The energetic space is sprawled our over 3 floors including a roof top terrace that peers over the town.
If you made it this far, than you can not got to the Algarve without visiting Sagres, the most western point of the coast. The area spikes
out into the Atlantic, forming the most south west edge of the continent. Many years ago, this was known as the ‘end of the world’ with its endless, arid plains that dramatically fall into the sea over enormous cliffs. Portugal’s famous explorer, Henry the Navigator based his explorations from a impressive fort that is still open for tours today.
Head north along the Atlantic coast and you will be blessed with hundreds of miles of untouched coastline, thanks to the environmentally protected area.
