This lovely apartment is centrally based, with easy access to many sandy beaches with various sports and leisure activities, including fishing and diving. Algarve is known as 'golfers paradise' with the links-style Salgados course being five minutes away, the course is next to a bird sanctuary, home to many species of waterfowl, including flamingos. Zoo Marine and Crazy World are also close by, as is the large shopping centre, Algarve Shopping. If you like your wine, you can go on an organised tour of Sir Cliff Richards Winery and sample his Vida Nova wine. The colourful Albufeira marina is just a five minute drive, or you could enjoy a lovely scenic walk and view the boats and yachts, cooling off with a drink or snack at one of the many bars and restaurants along the way. Also close by is the town of Guia, known locally as the capital of piri-piri , one of the Algarve's many signature dishes.
