High season is considered to be between March to May and September to October.

There are plenty of things to do and see in the Algarve. Tavira is a beautiful town in the East of the region with many churches and historical buildings, whilst Ponta da Piedade is to the west of the region near Lagos – these rocks have been erroded creating something visually stunning and packed with sea caves and arches. Other towns to visit include Lagos which features an authentic city market, whilst Monchique is high in the hills and offers an amazing view of the Algarve!

Albufeira is the liveliest part of the Algarve and is popular with British and Irish holidaymakers. It’s also particularly popular with stag and hen parties so you can imagine you’ll find plenty of bars and nightclubs open until the early hours. Vilamoura is popular with golfers and the Marina is surrounded with bars and restaurants. Other towns of note include Lagos which also has plenty of bars and restaurants to relax in away from the fairways.
