The Algarve is a fantastic place for a holiday. It’s popular with Brits particularly due to the close proximity to the UK — flights are around 2 and a half to 3 hours from England to Faro or Lagos. The Algarve offers great weather, amazing food, stunning architecture, gorgeous beaches and plenty of opportunities for water sports. I’m about to give you the lowdown on what was great about my holiday to the Algarve, as well as was not so good!
My holiday to the Algarve
I spent two and a half weeks on the Algarve, visiting Faro, Portimao and Lagos. The Algarve is great for family travel as well as solo female travel as it is safe and easy to navigate. My holiday was a good combination of relaxing beach days and exploring. I covered three main destinations during my two and a half weeks, with a couple of other day trips to nearby cities (such as Loule and Silves). It was a jam packed itinerary but it is doable to see three main destinations (plus daytrips) in this amount of time.
