Why is Portugal such a beautiful country and place to live in? Why is it so special to us?
There are so many answers to those questions.... so many reasons to visit, enjoy, experience and share... We give you some of them, to begin with in writing. If you want to experience Algarve IRL - ask us and we will be happy to help!
Portugal is peaceful. You see the solitude and peace of the Ocean and countryside and of many territories like Algarve, Alentejo, Sintra, Douro, Geres and many many other beautiful regions.
The main thing about Portugal is that there is no need to constantly fill your life with something, there is no want to feel the “buzz” around you. It is a country for peace, for quietness and reflection, and this is translated into the wines, food, coffee breaks, hikings, natural adventures, stunnig views that take your breath away and SO MUCH MORE. In Algarve for example nothing is rushed, everything takes its time. There is time to breath and its natural! People have time to seek, to experiment, to enjoy.
What is especially nice about travelling in Algarve region is that all the crowds you usually encounter in other regions in Europe are abscent and this is worth GOLD! At least for now, while Portugal is still a relatively under the radar country. Many europeans haven´t really discovered Portugal - yet.
In the summer it is lovely, hot and dry and a recommendable time to visit all the hundreds of beaches. But if you want energize yourself for seeing wide parts of the country aim for all months except June, July and August. Aim for the sweet spot between April and June, or join in on the festivities of the harvest and green Algarve in October to March.
In autumn and winter, there can be a bit of rain, and then the Algarve looks like " swedish green summer" The landscape gets so much character and charm. There is a big upside though to winter traveling through Algarve and other parts of Portugal as it is cheaper and much less busy.
