The Algarve region

The Algarve is well known for its golf courses and also for the many attractive fishing villages - and hence, of course, for the seafood, which is delicious. The Atlantic location means although very hot in June, July and August, the heat is not overpowering.The climate remains warm in Spring and Autumn.

Vilamoura area

Worth visiting is the old market town of Loule, and the old town in Faro. Most people like to visit Albufeira as well. Available in the area is Tennis, Golf, Lawn bowls, and deep sea fishing from the Marina. There are numerous pleasure cruises to choose from. Vilamoura has fantastic beaches either side of the Marina. It is possible to walk to Quarteira along the beach and pass the fishing boat harbour, In Quarteira you will find a lovely promenade, a very long beach, restaurants, shops and of course the daily fish and vegetable market. On Wednesday mornings there is a gypsy market on the main dual carriageway, which is definitely worth one visit.
