This area is famous for its sandy beach that stretches for mile and miles. It is well suited for those who require peace and quiet, but also for those who do not want to be far from the action, Albufeira is a £5 taxi fare away, so is ideal for those travelling with teenagers in tow or for nightlife! And with local shops, restaurants and beach within walking distance a car is not essential if you prefer not to have to drive while on holiday. Around the apartment you will find various restaurants and a supermarket is within a 3 minute walk. Although you have a very large pool the beautiful beaches of Gale are around 3 minutes walk, and these have to be amongst the best in the Algarve. The apartment is well fitted out and has a separate dining area, although for most of the year sitting outside on the balcony and eating alfresco is normal.
There are many attractions nearby, all reachable by taxi or bus. Zoo marine or one of the Water Parks are always popular with the kids. For the guests who take advantage of hiring a car the Monchique Mountains or Portimao Harbour are all worth a visit.
In the other direction towards Faro you have Loule, a large market town with lots of charm and a great deal of shops selling all sorts of leather goods at prices well below normal Algarve prices. Loule has a market on Saturday mornings.
