Algarve Holidays - All Inclusive And Last Minute Cheap Holidays Package Deals
The popular Algarve region is located due south of the UK, and lies at the southern tip of Portugal. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on both the western and southern edges, Algarve holidays are noted for their stunning natural scenery, beautiful golden beaches, good year-round weather and cultural and historic sights. A developed society has flourished here since at least the Phoenicians around 1,000 B.C.; although it is likely there were even earlier inhabitants. The Algarve’s coastline can boast some of Europe’s most beautiful beaches, set against a backdrop of whitewashed buildings. The area offers a contrast of lively seaside resorts and scenic sleepy inland towns and villages.
Background to the Algarve Region
Faro is the largest town in the Algarve region of Portugal and is a popular tourist haunt. Here you will find not only the administrative offices of the area, but also a wide selection of hotels and resorts. The old section of the city has been well preserved, and history and local culture is only a few footsteps away. Albuferia is the tourist capital, however, with its seven beaches and a lively nightlife scene. Cavoeiro is a quieter area, often favoured by families on their Algarve holiday.
Enjoy All-Natural Algarve Holidays
The interior of the Algarve region is quite a bit different from the seaside areas and is often overlooked by tourists when on their holidays in the Algarve. If you enjoy nature, then head inland! Here you will find a great deal of unspoilt countryside, along with stunning floral beauty and animals and birds rarely seen elsewhere. Orange blossoms and jacaranda compete with the sweetness of different kinds of fruits like grapes, strawberries and melons. The lush landscape will encourage you to walk, bike or paddle along rivers and creeks while being within touching distance of some of the most amazing natural beauty in Europe.
