Characterised by award-winning golf courses and stunning beaches, the Algarve region invites travellers to relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery. The most popular resorts can be found in places such as the Praia da Luz, Albufeira and Lagos, where the cloudless skies merge effortlessly with the azure sea to create a never-ending horizon.
The sun-seekers on the south coast beaches are a stark contrast to the sights you will find along the west coast, including local fishermen hoping to land the catch of the day and birdwatchers catching a glimpse of the wildlife that makes its home here.
