Algarve
The Algarve is home to some of the most majestic coastline in all of Europe. Expect stunning beaches, five-star golf courses, quaint and tranquil countryside and plenty of nightlife. Visitors from across the world come to The Algarve for its beaches, with many boasting Blue Flag status and child-friendly waters. Majestic rock stacks, rocky inlets and hidden coves are all waiting to be explored. In the popular resort of Albufeira, the buzzing Strip features cocktail bars, restaurants and clubs that let you party into the early hours, while the sleepy Old Town is perfect for a lazy afternoon stroll as you take in the market stalls, al fresco cafes and local shops selling home-made wares.
