The Algarve region of Portugal is located on the south Mediterranean coast. With miles of sandy golden beaches, buzzing nightlife and quiet, secluded towns and villages, there truly is a part of the Algarve for everyone from families, to couples and groups. There’s plenty of beach to go round with areas dedicated to water sports and active children and isolated coves for the grown ups to relax in. The must see places in the Algarve include Vilamoura, Tavira, Silva, Albufeira and Lagos. There are dozens more gorgeous towns and villages bursting with local markets, old churches and fantastic seafood restaurants. The Algarve’s International Airport is Faro and is within a few hours drive of most of the region’s popular resorts. From the Algarve, excursions can be made to Portugal’s capital, Lisbon and across the nearby border to Spain and Gibraltar.
