Come in January for the golf and the almond blossom. Come in December for the horse riding and the orange harvest. Or like most, come in summer for the glorious sunshine, the 100 beaches swept perfectly clean by the Atlantic … whatever you want, the year-round sunshine of Portugal’s Algarve coast has it on offer and it is no surprise this is one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations. Faro airport transfers by taxi, minibus, coach or shuttle coach take Resorthoppa clients of every sort to seemingly myriad holiday spots along the 150 kilometer shoreline.
Low-cost airlines: Eujet, Easyjet, Monarch, Jet2.com, Thomas Cook, First Choice … all the big carriers include Faro on their schedules. And Resorthoppa can arrange Algarve taxi, minibus and coach shuttle transfers from any flight to the door of your accommodation at any resort.
Top resort for a party of golfers might be the world-famous courses of Vilamoura, less than an hour by Resorthoppa transfer from Faro airport. Groups of tennis players escape the dark days of Northern European winter for coaching camps such as the famous Roger Taylor centre in Vale de Lobo. To sun lovers and those in search of family breaks on sun-drenched beaches the best known name is perhaps Albufeira. But there are many many more.
Take in the variety of the coastline, from secluded coves with amazing cliffs to vast stretches of golden sand all washed by the fresh and clear Atlantic ocean making this one of the least polluted of all European destinations. From the Spanish border in the east the coast is south facing all the way to the far west, named The End of the World from the days before Henry the Navigator set off from Sagres in the 15th century to map the newly-discovered Americas.
Head inland to find quaint villages untouched by tourism. Traces of the Moorish presence from centuries of Arab rule are still evident in the local architecture of whitewashed traditional houses. Well in from the coastal plain are the foothills leading up to Mount Foia, above the village of Monchique, where farmers still use Roman terraces with granite stone walls to grow the vegetables on sale in local markets.
Taste the local specialities: Cataplana, a seafood mixture steamed in a pot of the same name. Chestnuts, gathered in November in time for the national festival of São Martinho. Or locally-brewed Medronho, to be found in the many local taverns. Strong stuff.
Just fancy that: singer Sir Cliff Richards has a home here … where he is a most successful vineyard owner and winemaker! Try a glass of his Vida Nova label.
