With mile upon mile of uncrowded, sandy beaches, the Algarve has a superb year-round climate. Pretty coastal towns and villages boast old churches and bustling markets, pavement cafes serving excellent snacks, and fishing boats on the beach. The Algarve in Portugal boasts an average 320 days of sunshine a year, gentle breezes coming off the Atlantic, and a laid-back lifestyle that you thought had monchique algarve vanished.

Here the locals brew ‘Medronho’, one of the tastiest beverages in the Algarve and Portugal, and a drop which you must try.
