4×4 Algarve tours
One unique way of experiencing the Algarve is with the help of 4×4 Algarve tours. That might seem weird at first glance because for the majority of people the Algarve is characterized by its wonderfully long and soft golden beaches, and for most of visitors, their visit never amounts to more than just lounging around their hotel and the closest beach. And there absolutely nothing wrong with that, but the thing is that there is so much more to the Algarve than some of the best beaches in Europe.
Algarve clubbing summer hotspots
One may not think very much about their choice of Algarve clubbing summer hotspots because the region’s cities, towns and resorts are all abuzz with various genres of music, and one might be very right in that assumption, however for those who are headed for this sunny coastline explicitly to party, they might want to have a clear attack plan ready.
Algarve festivals and events 1
Algarve festivals and events aren’t necessarily what people tend to have in mind when they plan a trip to the Algarve. Frankly the great weather and plethora of activity and entertainment options are usually enough to convince most if not all potential travelers that the southern part of Portugal is the place to go, but we want to add a bit to that and tell you about some of the rather many Algarve festivals and events that you might want to attend while on your trip.
Algarve winter holiday
Going on an Algarve winter holiday might just be one of the best ideas that you’ve had since the moment that you started considering leaving your cold home for warmer shores. The Algarve is known for the great weather, and one might think that during the winter months it’s just decent weather here, but you’ll be pleased to know that average temperatures in October and November are somewhere between 19 to 22 Centigrade, and there are anywhere from six to eight hours of sunshine during the day, it’s absolutely great. Compare those temperatures to those just a bit north of the Iberian Peninsula and you get much lower numbers.
The 2013 State Budget brings massive tax hikes
It’s a pity that we have to start the week talking about massive tax hikes, but this is major news for the country and it will affect the Algarve of course, so we have to talk about it.
The 2013 State budget is the harshest in recorded history, never before in the history of Portuguese democracy have taxes been raised to high, the government taking austerity measures to their limit in a move that has had many economy experts describe it as being ‘violent’, ‘unworkable’ and ‘destructive’.
The Top 3 Beaches in Algarve Portugal
The Top 3 Beaches in Algarve Portugal
Portugal is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, drawing visitors from all over the world. The country is especially popular with tourists from other European countries. One of the main reasons why Portugal is a tourist hotspot is its beaches. The Portuguese coastline plays host to a seemingly endless number of beaches, each more spectacular than the other. For every beach that gets overrun by tourists, there are a number of other beaches that are known only to the locals. Some of the very best beaches in Portugal can be traced to the Algarve region. Sitting at the southern tip of mainland Portugal, Algarve is mostly popular with tourists out to explore its historical significance.
