Brilliant Beaches

The Algarve region boasts of over 30 beaches. That said, it should be easy to find one or two to fall in love with. So if you’re looking for water sports, shallow beaches, somewhere for the kids, or even amorous seclusion, there should be that shoreline, just right for your needs. All these beaches have one great thing in common, and that is the sun that embellishes them. Making relaxation and fun times, something unavoidable.

Great Golf

What’s the ideal accompaniment to stretching out on a sun lounger? What’s the ideal, leisurely, but not too leisurely, pursuit? Why it’s a game of golf, of course! Boasting 19 golf courses, the Algarve will give you as much choice with your golf, as it gives you with it’s coastline. Can you take on the world famous par three, over cliffs and water, at the renowned Royal Course? Do you just want a chilled pitch and putt, with the children? You’re sure to find just what you’re looking for, on one of the Algarve’s fantastic venues. So whether it’s the swift 9, or the whole 18, you can get that driver out, and really go give it some!

Fantastic Food

A basic pleasure, that is part of an economical trip to the Algarve, is very much the dining to be had in local eateries. Such dining experiences are usually to be had at very reasonable prices. Expect to pay £8 - £10 pounds per person, for a quality meal. This is inclusive of wine. Most of the food is prepared using local produce. This means that seafood is to be expected in the more coastal areas, whilst spiced chicken and pork are favoured, as you move inland. For those who are prepared to miss out, by insisting on good old English cuisine, there are fair quantities of establishments that offer this. Therefore, no one is likely to get homesick during a lovely break in the Algarve!

Captivating Culture

Bullfighting is not most people’s idea of taking in another countries culture, which is not a problem in the Algarve. The Algarve has far more than just this to offer. Why not sample one of it’s many art, music and drink festivals, that take place all year round. Find out about its history, in one of the art galleries, or museums.

Noteworthy Nightlife

There is a tremendous degree of variance in the Algarve nightlife, and most certainly something for all people. There is a healthy divide between the hedonism of the club scene, and the more relaxed, cultural evening. The club scene is very much punctuated by Albufeira. A place where you can party into the small hours, and really go to town. Packed with nightclubs and bars, it is frequented by British and German tourists alike. Not as renowned perhaps, as Ibiza, the Algarve club scene is still awash with late nights and high times.

A night of Algarve culture is pretty much the alte
ative to this. If a good evening for you is a relaxing, quiet dinner, followed by some light entertainment, then you can have that. Taking in some live Fado folk music as you wash down some splendid seafood, with some equally splendid wine.

This really is merely the tip of the Algarve iceberg. It’s the type of place that has so many plus sides that it would be easy to go on forever. The best thing to do is book your next holiday to the Algarve, and sample its delights for yourself. It needn’t cost a fortune. Package holidays to the Algarve are cheap!

Noteworthy Nightlife

To describe the Algarve nightlife, is to describe an extremely varied nightlife. Something for all people is to be found. A partition exists between the more high paced clubbing side of the Algarve, and the slower, cultural evening experience that is there to be enjoyed. In terms of clubbing, Albufeira is brilliant. It has a rich selection of clubs and bars, which makes it the Algarve’s premium clubbing location for British and German tourists. It may not boast the clubbing heritage that Ibiza has, but the Algarve is doubtless fun, fun, fun!

An evening taking in the cultural spoils of the Algarve is a fantastic alte
ative to all that crazy clubbing. There’s nothing quite like the resonance of a live fado folk music performance. Such mellow, relaxing culture is a great accompaniment to a seafood dinner, with a glass or two of the regional tipple!

This really doesn’t begin to describe just how unique, and enjoyable a place, the Algarve really is. Not to mention inexpensive. There’s a plethora of cheap package holidays in the Algarve to be had out there. You just have to book one of these bargains, and get out there, to see for yourself. Make a great choice this summer. Choose the Algarve.
