Winter low-season in the Algarve
January has only started for a week, and most of Europe still has to go through at least two to three months of freezing to cold weather, and there are surely some who were not able to take a break from work for the end-of-year holidays but will want to do so soon, and that’s when the Algarve is primed and ready for their business.
There is a very well delineated difference between Algarve in the summer high-season and the winter low-season.
During the summer, at least half of Europe seems to shut down and run either for the mountains or for the coastline – and in the case of the Algarve, it seems like those who prefer the coastline all come here. This obviously means a spike in all prices and obviously very crowded resorts.
Visiting the Algarve during autumn and winter breaks
We talk a lot about how wonderful of a holiday destination the Algarve is during the warm seasons, however today we’ll look a bit into visiting the Algarve during autumn and winter breaks, the decidedly not-so warm seasons.
The Algarve is amongst those holiday destinations that is popular not only during the summer but also during the winter, and that is due to quite a few reasons, one of them being the fact that it is located firmly on the European continent – which makes it relatively easier to visit from within the continent, and the fact that it features a lot of golf courses – but more on that later.
Visiting the Algarve during spring and summer breaks
Visiting the Algarve during spring and summer breaks offers you pretty much unrivalled holiday opportunities for entertainment, culture, great food and drink and of course sun, sea and sand.
The sun drenched Atlantic coastline is famous for its wild beauty, featuring miles upon miles of sundrenched beaches, it is for many a great spring and summer destination. In fact most of the Algarve visitors will simply prefer to laze on the soft sands of sheltered coves, soaking up the sun and enjoying a swim or two, in the crystal clear waters of the coast.
