Albufeira, one of its most beloved towns, marries old-world charm with modern vibrancy, offering something for every type of traveller. Whether you’re exploring cobbled streets or basking on sunlit shores, Albufeira promises a memorable escape.

Must-sees:

• The Old Town of Albufeira: A labyrinth of narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and vibrant squares that embody the Algarve’s rich history.
• Benagil Cave: An awe-inspiring natural sea cave that can only be accessed by boat or kayak.
• Ponta da Piedade: This dramatic coastline near Lagos features unique rock formations and breathtaking views of the Atlantic.

Culinary culture:

The Algarve’s cuisine is a reflection of its coastal identity and Moorish influences. Fresh seafood reigns supreme, with dishes like cataplana, a fragrant stew of clams, chorizo, and spices, taking centre stage. Sweet treats such as Dom Rodrigo and almond cake reflect the region’s love for almonds and figs. Local wines, particularly the crisp whites, are perfect companions to a leisurely meal overlooking the sea.

Dive deeper:

Venture beyond the beaches to uncover the Algarve’s hidden treasures. Explore the lesser-known Ria Formosa lagoon, a protected natural park home to flamingos and traditional fishing villages. History enthusiasts can visit Silves Castle, a beautifully preserved Moorish stronghold. For those seeking tranquillity, the Monchique Mountains offer serene landscapes and rejuvenating thermal spas.

Good to know:

The Algarve enjoys over 300 days of sunshine annually, making it ideal for year-round visits. Public transport is limited in some areas, so renting a car is recommended for exploring at your own pace.
