Holidays to the Algarve

With nearly 300 days of sunshine a year, endless beaches to discover and bright blue skies it’s easy to see why the Algarve is known for sun, sea and sand. Portugal’s southernmost region stretches along 150 kilometres of coastline from its border with neighbouring Spain to the wilder west – dotted along the way are hidden coves, white washed fishing villages and world class golf courses. Whether in Faro or Lagos, balmy sun-kissed days are easily spent exploring sandy barrier islands, dipping in and out of the waters and dining on grilled fish. Find out for yourself why this maritime province is such a popular holiday destination.
