The Algarve - Portugal’s hidden gem

The southern coast of Portugal is often overlooked when people plan a summer holiday. But with sublime rocky coastlines, gorgeous terracotta beaches and waves great for surfing - you’re really missing out on an all round great experience. The locals are really friendly, and depending on where you choose to go, it’s got some great places for every budget. Getting There - there are flights into the main airport FARO (Fao) from most major UK airports and some small ones too - and if you book at the right time you can get super cheap flights with budget airlines too! Attractions - there are family water parks & sea life centre, golf, wine tasting, watersports, boat trips and much more! Hotels - a great range of hotels for different budgets, also some great 4*+ hotels within golf resorts along the coast - including a Four Seasons. Food & Restaurants - many different cuisines, lots of Pan Asian, Sushi, Indian, Italian and traditional Portuguese. And if you like fish, trust me, you will want to eat plenty of the fresh local fish while you’re there! Also try the traditional Portuguese “Pasties de nata” custard tarts. Shopping - lots of shopping malls around, with well known high street European brands (Pull & Bear, H&M, Stradivarius etc.) as well as special designer stores and a large outlet mall near Almancil. #portugal #algarve #summervacation
