The Algarve is renowned for its relaxed, friendly atmosphere and some of the best beaches in Europe.

With spectacular red sandstone cliffs, stretches of beautiful beaches and sandy coves, the Algarve is the meeting point between Europe and Africa and the result is a wonderful mix of Moorish, Spanish and Portuguese influences.

There’s a fabulous temperate climate, a great range of accommodation, simply delicious cuisine and a warm, warm welcome from the Portuguese themselves. It’s a great place to stroll around - there aren’t many hills - and the Marina at Vilamoura is the largest in Europe and a wonderful place to enjoy a drink and watch the world go by.
