With constant mild weather because of the warm sea and air currents from North Africa, the Algarve is a delight to visit all year round, particularly in winter and spring. With five centuries of Arab rule from AD711, Moorish influences still exist, but nowadays tourism has replaced agriculture and fishing as the principal activity.

Albuferia

One of Portugal's most popular resorts, and well-known to British holidaymakers, this once sleepy fishing village is a magnet for both summer sun-seekers and those looking to escape the worst of the British winter. There are seven glorious beaches and, whilst there are lots of activities and good shopping available in the modern centre, the cobbled streets in the old town retain a traditional Portuguese charm and character.
