Exploring the Algarve:
Jeep Safaris are extremely popular with families who want to spend the day exploring the Portuguese countryside. Children will be delighted with the travel over country terrain and mums and dads will be very happy with the great food and wine that is served up at midday at some quiet rural restaurant followed by a refreshing swim!! If you wish to venture further afield, a visit to Seville in Spain is only a two and a half hour drive from the resort. Coach trips also available. Seville is a beautiful old city full of wonderful architecture - churches, palaces, old statues but don't forget if you want to go shopping siesta in Seville is from 1pm to 5pm. A lovely way to see Seville is to take one of the many horse and carriage rides around the old city and during siesta time you can while away the time drinking sangria in a street cafe. If you like leather bags or great shoes, a visit to Lisbon is also worthwhile. We can provide discounted car hire if required.
Activities in Albufeira:
Most families are happy to spend the morning lounging around the resort pools and then wander down to the beach in the late afternoon when the sting is gone out of the sun. There are plenty of water activities for children and adults alike - banana boats, paragliding, fishing, boating or simply talking the coast walk into the old fishing village of Albufeira itself. A lovely old village which has managed to retain its friendly atmosphere despite the tourists! It has wonderful fish restaurants. Portugal is famous for its fish and it's worthwhile to visit some of these traditional restaurants and sample the authentic Portuguese fish dishes. Old Albufeira is a charming place to visit at night time as you can see the night lights from all the boats, yachts and cruisers that pass by. The centre of Albufeira consists of an old Square where musical events are played every night. If shopping is your thing - Algarve Shopping is a must. Courtesy buses run regularly from beside our apt.
