Winter in the Algarve
Top 10 reasons to visit the Algarve in the winter
There is plenty of reasons to visit the Algarve all year round, every season has its pros and cons. It might feel a little early to start thinking about your winter holidays, but there are some very obvious, and some less obvious reasons why spending your winter in the Algarve is a very good idea indeed.
Algarve Housing has many nice properties for rent, suitable for the winter, and negotiate adorable prices for long stays!
Why would you spent the winter in the Algarve?
1. Weather
The most obvious one is the mild weather during winter time. On average, temperatures vary between 10 and 15 degrees, and when the sun is out, it can even be warm enough for a visit to the beach! Also, on average, there is little rainfall, so chances are big you will get your share of sunshine.
2. No Queues, Peace and Quiet
As it is low season, it is nice and quiet, which concretely means: no queuing for a table at restaurants, no crowded beaches, and empty roads. This also means: no long waiting lines at entertainment parks like Zoo marine and Slide and Splash, who have lengthened their opening season. For those who love peacefulness, this is the time to come to the Algarve!
3. Low Prices
As a direct consequence of it being low season, prices are also much, much lower, saving you many euros on not only accommodation (rental prices are much cheaper too), but also on other, tourist related activities. Your wallet will be grateful!
4. Surf the Waves
Winter is best surfing season, the best waves and again: not so crowded!
5. Outdoor activities
Any outdoor activity like biking and horse riding is so much more pleasant during winter time because temperatures are much lower and the countryside is green and lush. Chances are big that you will actually survive (and therefore enjoy) the physical effort, as opposed to during the summer.
6. Enjoy Wild Life
Wild life is more abundant in the winter, so any trip into nature, whether inland or on sea, will be so much more rewarding in terms of spotting animals.
7. Jeep Tours
Jeep tours into the countryside without the dust, the burning sun, into lush vegetation rather than dried grass…need we say more?
8. Enjoy Local Culture
Strolling through historical cities, sniffing in local culture…how great to be able to do that without a heat stroke or sunburns! Wow, it seems like everything is more pleasurable during winter in the Algarve!
9. Shopping
On rainy days, there still is plenty choice of things to do, like shopping in one of the many shopping malls the Algarve has on offer, wine tasting or visiting a museum.
10. Beach Bars
Let us not forget that there are still beach bars open during winter in Portugal, and that when the sun is out, they are a great spot to enjoy life with a good glass of wine or a good meal.
