How about a trip to Portugal Algarve
A Brief Summary
There isn’t much to be said for the far south of Portugal that isn’t widely known by the average European tourist. It is a land of sunshine, exquisite beaches, more golf courses than you could ever hope to play, (Vilamoura and Quinta do Lago being notable golf havens), and sleepy little towns set alongside true hustle and bustle Mediterranean resorts. If you want activities, there is cycling galore, walking, hiking, surfing, sailing, horse-riding, and all manner of other sports offered and available through hotels, including tennis, quad biking, catamaran sailing etc. etc.
If you want somewhere subdued and laid back, avoid Albufeira and Lagos as they’re genuinely busy but thriving resorts, instead head a little further afield to Sagres at the very foot of Europe, Armação de Pêra or Manta Rota for something more authentically Algarvian.
Location
About the Weather
Portugal’s warmest and sunniest location, in the far south of the country, with winters being very bright and showery and summers almost rainless and exceptionally sunny. 12 hours a day sunshine occurs here from Jun to Aug, when temperatures average 30°c by day and nearly 20°c by night. Occasional heatwaves see temperatures exceed 40°c when winds fall lighter and heat arrives from the Sahara, often accompanied by dusty skies laden with fine sand. Autumn is warm and sunny and rains only really occur reliably from Oct onwards, although skies remain largely clear until Nov, when temperatures drop to 20°c and much heavier showers occur, often with windy weather. Winters are mild and bright, but with heavy showers.
