Algarve holidays - travel guide

introduction to Algarve

Stretched along Portugal's scenically beautiful southern coasts the region is a beach-lover's paradise. Lining the coast are plenty of holiday pleasures - irresistible restaurants, bustling markets and buzzing night-life. Sporty types will also warm to the superb array of excellent golf courses and watersports.

If you're looking for fabulous beaches then you should already be considering a holiday to Portugal. In the Algarve you'll discover mile upon mile of golden beach punctuated by dramatic rock formations. Praia da Rocha or 'beach of rock' is a beautiful case in point.
