The Algarve Region

The climate is one of the healthiest and most pleasant in the world, comparable with California.
There is sufficient seasonal variation to make the weather anything but boring, but winters are never too cold and the summers never too hot. The skies are predominantly blue all year round.The Algarve has managed to retain its old world charm and traditional values even although it is an integral part of an ambitious, forward-looking nation, and tourism is its major economic activity.
Tourism has brought considerable prosperity to the Algarve and contributed significantly to the overall economic strength of a stable democracy with a moderate, centralist government within the European Union.
Air links and telecommunications facilities are excellent. Faro and Lisbon international airports, satellite television, cellular phones, fax machines, computer modems and the internet means you can be as globally in touch as you want to be.
It is both a place to relax and do little or, if you prefer it, indulge your every active recreational interest, much of it outdoors in the clean, fresh air.
The environment is much less spoilt than in other European countries. Growing popular awareness, backed by EU directives incorporated into Portuguese law, should ensure that it stays that way.
The region is best known for its spectacular coastline, including scores of spectacular beaches, in the hinterland you will find vineyards, olive, almond, carob and fig trees, rising to rolling hills and the plains of the province of Alentejo beyond.
In the spring, from as early as Christmas until the end of May, the countryside is in sparkling bloom beneath exhilarating azure blue skies. It is a very different scene to the grey gloom that pervades northern Europe early in the year.
From a few kilometres inland, the Algarve is covered with evergreen trees and shrubs and so the countryside remains remarkably lush even in the height of summer.
Language is generally not a problem and, anyway, you will enjoy picking up at least a smattering of Portuguese. You can get by in English, so long as you understand the Portuguese all –purpose expression that sums up any and all of life’s minor travails: nao faz mal- it doesn’t matter.
The cost of living is considerably less than in the UK and other European destinations. Inexpensive restaurant bills and the absurdly low price of wines and spirits make dining out the norm, rather than the exception, for most foreign visitors here to the Algarve.
The only things completely missing here that you may find in places such as Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Florida or the Caribbean are hurricanes, sweltering summers, pollution or high crime rates.
