Some of the best and most beautiful beaches in the world are to be found in the Algarve. The region is a favourite for sun-seekers from all over. After landing at Faro and booking into your hotel, you will soon find that there are beaches all along the Argarve's coastline. Amongst the broad expanse of golden sands bathed in the calm, warm seawaters of the Atlantic ocean you will also find breathtaking coves and caves. From Sagres to Vila Real on the border of Spain, the entire coast enjoys a Mediterranean-style climate with temperatures that vary from 15ºC in winter to 30ºC in summer. Walk along or just relax on the beaches of Praia de Dona Ana and Praia do Camilo. Visit the lively town of Albufeira, the unsoilt town of Alvor and its old fishing quay, waterfront and restaurants, the quiet village of Acoteias or take a drive into the mountains and see of the castle at Silves and the town of Monchique in the heart of
Portugal's
best citrus growing area but don't forget your camera.
