Salgados Beach
​
A great all year round beach. Lovely golden sand, great gentle waves and you can even swim in December with the warm currents. The beach, which stretches for miles, is situated in front of a nature reserve where migrating flamingos can be seen in the spring as well as a multitude of other wildlife . You can take an evening stroll along the beach to restaurants round the bay. Further around the coast in Vale Parra there are more secluded coves and beaches for those that prefer this type of beach

THE GOOD LIFE
Why go to the Algarve? Well the light on the Algarve is fantastic. To draw the curtains each morning and see the blue skies and the bright, energising light never fails to raise spirits.
​
But there is much more than that. It’s a region of hidden delights, of golden beaches framed by beautifully wrought limestone rocks, of small, simple restaurants where the taste of the fish – just caught, just grilled and drizzled with a local olive oil – will pull you back time and time again.
​
There are so many layers to the Algarve. Inland, up in the hills of Monchique, you will see a way of life that has disappeared from much of Europe.
​
The cost of living is still the cheapest in Western Europe and the local wine is delicious.
