The best times to visit the Algarve
It can be difficult to pinpoint what the best times to visit the Algarve are, mainly because the Algarve isn’t that cut and dry of a destination, nor is it a small one. Usually people think of the Algarve as a place for sea and sunshine, and they’re totally right, the region is well-known for its wonderful golden sandy beaches, however that is only the coast that we’re talking about, the Algarve goes quite a bit inland where the offerings are quite different while still remaining extremely interesting.
As such there is no best time to visit the Algarve because each piece of the Algarve has a particular type of pull depending on the season, and this doesn’t even take into account the fact that each holidaymaker is looking for a different thing. It is true that most vacationers to the Algarve are drawn here by the wonderful weather, the great beaches and calm and warm waters, but there are some who venture to other areas of the region while on their vacation and get totally different experiences, regardless of when they visit.
This stays true for how you choose to see the region as well, there are numerous ways, some prefer to stick around their resort and that will satisfy their needs, while other want to walk, hike, bike or go off-road, and of course there are always many Algarve car rental services ready to cater to those who wish to explore the region in depth. This only means that not only is there not one ‘best time’ to visit the Algarve in, but there is no ‘best way’ of seeing it either, the place is great regardless of time of the year or approach to visiting it.
One has to keep in mind that the Algarve boasts somewhere in the region of three thousand hours of sunshine per year, and that’s more than California, so fabulous weather is something that comes natural to this place.
