Algarve is #1
The Algarve is catagorized as Europes #1 holiday destination. It stretches for about 100 miles along the southern edge of Portugal. It has the most magnificent coastline in Europe with miles of golden sands, washed by the clear Atlantic. Of course, the Algarve is not restricted to the coastline areas. Only a few minutes drive inland will bring you to beautiful unspoilt countryside with vines, citrus groves and almond and fig trees. Ancient Moorish towns and villages, with their bustling weekly markets, are there to explore and enjoy. The seasons of the Algarve are extremely mild with winter temperatures in the mid 60's (20º) and summer in the 80's & 90's (30º-40º). There are over 3000 hours of sunshine a year. Spring can start as early as January with the unforgettable spectacle of white almond blossom, followed by the yellow of mimosa and the colourful fruits of orange, lemon and fig trees.
