Occupying all of Portugal’s southern coastline, the Algarve has much of the country’s best weather, top beaches, and most-notably golf courses. Combining a beautifully rugged interior of ancient whitewashed villages where you’ll struggle to find anyone to speak English, with the more developed coast, the Algarve has become a haven for lovers of the finer things in life. Seafood abounds in its excellent restaurants, while swimmers, surfers, and kayakers can enjoy superb conditions. For those looking to delve a little deeper, Faro’s Old Town has a wealth of treasures, including the intriguing Capela dos Ossos, decorated with human bones.
