THE ALGARVE

The coastal city of Albufeira in the southern Algarve region of Portugal was once a sleepy fisherman's village that has become a major holiday destination. With its modern marina and harbor, it's still used for open sea fishing and as a base for enjoying the Atlantic coast and beautiful sandy beaches. A vibrant town that thrives on nightlife, there are excellent restaurants and bars along the waterfront promenade and a busy nightlife strip.

The largest city in the western Algarve, the port town of Portimao is 30 minutes west and has morphed from a thriving fishing hub that serves as both a coastal resort destination and an authentic slice of Portuguese life. Located along the Arade river, it’s a great jumping off point for the best of the Algarve’s sun-drenched beaches including the famous Praia da Rocha, Praia do Vau, Praia de Alvor, Carvoeiro, Vale Centeanes, and Carvalho beach.

The Algarve capital of Faro has both a well-preserved medieval beauty and a contemporary feel. The marina and historic old town plazas are part of its charm and it's well positioned to some of the best beaches along the coast and directly adjacent to the beautiful Ria Formosa Preserve and Ilha Deserta. Don’t miss the Moorish town of Silves a short drive to the north.
