If you love to travel, then the Algarve in Portugal is a MUST! There is so much to do with beaches all along the coast, from golden sands, to white sands, to red rock cliffs as backdrops to the beaches, to picturesque rock formations in the ocean. The senses will be over whelmed with joy seeing all the beauty. The closest airport is Faro in the southern part of Portugal. If you fly into Lisbon, a 2.5 hour drive will get you down to the Algarve. Personally I like to be in the center of things and make that my base as I explore the surroundings. If you want more of a city life, then Lagos is a great place to stay. But if you want the more traditional Portuguese feel, then Carvoeiro is such a charming village. If you want to go for a boat ride along the coast to the famous Benagil Caves, boats leave in the morning and close to noon from Carvoeiro Beach. The Tourist Information center can give you plenty of places to explore near by. Early in the morning you might find people doing laps in the ocean at the beach. Yes, instead of a pool, having the ocean as your pool! From the beach and town you can walk up the roads to the Carvoeiro cliffs. From there watch the sunset and the town below. There is a boardwalk and Algar Seco to explore. Just sit and relax and enjoy the beauty!
