The Algarve, Portugal's southernmost region, is one of Europe's most popular travel destinations, boasting over 300 sunny days a year, spectacular rocky coastlines, and turquoise waters. The 200-kilometer-long coast is divided into the Barlavento (West Coast) with its dramatic sandstone cliffs, hidden caves, and golden bays, and the flatter Sotavento (East Coast) with extensive sandy beaches and the Ria Formosa Nature Park.
The rock formations near Lagos, Benagil, and Carvoeiro are among the most photographed landscapes in the country. The Benagil Cave, with its collapsed dome roof allowing sunlight to fall onto the sandy beach, is a natural monument of surreal beauty. Kayaking and stand-up paddling along the cliffs offer perspectives that remain invisible from land.
Away from the coast, the hinterland surprises with whitewashed villages, almond and orange groves, and the Serra de Monchique, a green mountain range with a thermal spa. Silves, the former Moorish capital, overlooks the landscape with its red castle. The Algarve cuisine features Cataplana (shellfish stew from a copper pot), grilled sardines, and almond cakes. Golfers can find over 40 top-notch courses. From Faro, all highlights are quickly accessible, and with a rental car, the entire diversity of the region can be explored in one to two weeks.
