Autumn and Winter Sunshine Breaks – Come and visit the Algarve!

Portugal and the Algarve in particular are excellent autumn and winter holiday destinations, due to their wonderfully temperate climate. Out of season, the golf green fees are cheaper and the sun still shines for around 5-6 hours a day, making this a wonderful holiday destination for golfers and sun worshippers alike.

The Algarve has a wealth of other sporting activities available throughout the autumn and winter months. There is go carting in Almancil, you can take coastal boat trips from Albufeira, go deep-sea fishing in eastern Algarve and enjoy parasailing over western Algarve. The larger resort towns of the region, Albufeira, Lagos and Vilamoura play host to many fine, Michelin starred restaurants and entertainment venues that remain open till the early hours throughout the low season.

You will also receive a warm welcome in the smaller, quieter, in land locations. Here, away from the coast, you are able to relax peacefully with the locals enjoying pasteis de nata and a glass or two of local wine from Lagoa, Portimao and Tavira. Local dishes here include wild boar and stews of lamb or goat that literally fall off the bone. And of course, a trip to Portugal’s Algarve at any time of year would not be complete without the obligatory glass (or two) of Port. Whether your preference is for young, tawny or white Port, this blend of local wines makes a fabulous after dinner treat.

If you are thinking of getting away for a short break or longer holiday this autumn, the Algarve is the perfect choice. Algarve Villas and Apartments – click here to browse our range of luxurious holiday accommodation in all of the popular areas.
