Exploring the Algarve
The Algarve is known for its cliffs that make the coastline more rugged than most other Mediterranean coasts. The beaches are lined with hotels, restaurants and bars, but if you hire a car and drive west you will find less developed areas. If you rent a car in Faro, you will have the freedom to find many beautiful areas to explore away from the beaches. There are small villages and towns away from the tourist crowds, hiking trails and even vineyards.
There are countless accommodation options in the Algarve region from hotels to apartments, villas and spa resorts. Algarve gets sunshine around the year, and although the winter months can be cool they are usually sunny. The summer months bring almost guaranteed sunshine and great beach weather.
