The Algarve

The Algarve has been established as a holiday destination for many years and remains very popular as a golf and beach destination. However beyond the wonderful beaches and golf courses, the Algarve has plenty more to offer the discerning visitor such as beautiful countryside, traditional old towns and villages, a wealth of history and local culture and splendid scenery.

Our aim is to introduce you to the “Alternative Algarve” that most visitors never see and provide you with a holiday to remember.

Climate

The Algarve boasts one of the most dependable climates in the world, with typically more than 250 days of sunshine a year. Protected by the mountains from the influence of cool Northern air, conditions on the coast are similar to those on the coast of Northern Africa. High sunshine values are complemented by a warm, dry Mediterranean type regime on which the Atlantic exerts a moderating effect, producing pleasant mild temperatures even in winter.

Temperatures

The warmest months are June, July, August and September and during this period, the average daily temperature is around 28C but usually accompanied by a light sea breeze. It can however be much hotter than this and we will take account of the temperatures during this period when recommending activities for you.

During the spring, autumn and winter months, it is very rarely cold, with temperatures not often below 10C. These months are ideal for many of the activities on offer, such as walking, cycling and golf.
