Algarve
Southern Portugal
The Algarve is Portugal’s sun-soaked southern coast, famous for its golden beaches, dramatic limestone cliffs, and picturesque fishing villages. Stretching from the Spanish border to the wild Atlantic coast, this region offers a mix of lively resort towns, charming old villages, and breathtaking natural scenery.

To the west, rugged cliffs and hidden coves create spectacular backdrops for hiking and photography, while the east boasts quieter stretches of sand and traditional towns like Tavira with its Moorish charm.
