The Algarve has drawn visitors to its sun-drenched shores for years with its gently shelving beaches and a warm air current, which make for a tempting mix of ingredients. The coastline is simply beautiful - long stretches of golden sands are washed by refreshing seas and red sandstone cliffs seclude delightful bays. For a more up-tempo holiday, horse riding, golf and watersports are in abundance, while wooded hills offer beautiful walking terrain. Whatever you want to do, you can create your own adventure, beginning your journey by the coast, where centuries-old fishing villages climb up into beautiful countryside, sprinkled with carob and almond-trees. Make for the hills with a picnic and stumble upon hidden treasures as you wander through olive groves and terracotta roofed hamlets. Or simply spend your days unwinding, lazily soaking up the sun letting the sand sift between your toes as you listen to the soft surf wash the shores.
