Hi Dan,

We are coming to Algarve now in September. My girlfriend and i are visiting here parents in Albufeira. I love your guide but we are just staying for 5 days and wont be able to everything on the list. Which ones would you recommend for us to hit up for that amount of days? Greetings from Stockholm

Hello very useful site with great tips about the village of Alvor.
I went to Alvor this year and I was delighted with everything first I booked a transfer from Faro Airport to Alvor on this site transfersfromfaroairport.com/faro-airport-to-alvor/ and they were excellent tips from the drivers in the area.
We stayed at Pestana hotels and it was a very good hotel. I love Alvor beach

In reply to George Brown. You could smash out the highlights in 3 days, but a week will let you live that slower Algarve lifestyle

Algarve seems to have it all. Beautiful beaches, rock formations, churches, villages, wine… Have been planning to visit Portugal for some years. Must include Algarve. Thank you so much for this guide. How many days do you think I should stay there?

Portugal is definitely a wonderful destination, exploring the country and its region is like having a treasure hunting adventure, and the treasures were fascinating destinations.

Very interesting article, I like to read travel notes and gain new experience and knowledge for myself . In the 21st century, a lot of information can be found but very little where it is clearly presented-thank you for the article

In reply to Daniel James (Dan Flying Solo). Great thanks! I suppose they can’t know if it was a home kit or a walk in test as you still get a certificate from the lab.

Hi Dianshan,

Wetaher is great – 28 today, up in Foia and high moncique the wind might mean a jacket still yes :)

So, today was the first day of arrivals and people have messaged me to say that they were allowed in with home test kits – so I’m gonna update the article as I also haven’t had any firm answer from any one official – just the legal decree which defines a test here as taken by a healthcare professional. So, it seems for now, that those tests are okay – seems a bt strange when it goes against the rules for people that actually live here, so maybe they will review it, let’s see. If I get anything further I’ll update this.
Cheers,
Dan

Headed there this week with the re-opening! Excited about it. How’s the weather along the coast now? We’re also heading to Monchique – what would be the weather like up there (like do we need a jumper?)?

What a list! Thank you. I’ll have to go on a walking trail when I next visit the Algarve. There’s also a lovely beach in the Loulé municipality, in Quarteira. We wrote an article about a year back on the area –

In reply to Suprity. I think Portugal is very child and baby friendly, both the destination and the people! I can't think of many places to avoid, except maybe the water boats which can be choppy with the waves and the hikes. Have an amazing time!
