Enter your holiday requirements below, to search for Portland package holidays to the Algarve. Search for your perfect holiday to the AlgarveAlgarveThe Algarve has drawn visitors, siren-like, to its sun-drenched shores for years – its gently shelving beaches and warm air currents make for a tempting mix of ingredients. The coastline is simply beautiful – long stretches of golden sands are washed by refreshing seas and red sandstone cliffs seclude delightful bays.Food & Wine in The Algarve Cuisine in the Algarve is adventurous, rustic and hearty with fresh fish dominating most menus. Try the local version of paella - 'arroz de marisco' - with prawns, clams, rice, onions, tomatoes and peppers, or the spicy north African-inspired chicken dish - 'frango piri piri'. 'Cataplana' is a mouthwatering dish of pork, onions, tomatoes and garlic, steamed in a unique copper pot, which also make bespoke souvenirs. 'Armaguinaha' - a local almond liqueur can be enjoyed on its own or with ice and a squeeze of fresh lemon. 'Medronho', the local firewater, made from a fruit which is a relative of the wild strawberry, is high in alcohol and not for the faint hearted! Days & Nights in The Algarve Nightlife in the Algarve ranges from quiet evenings enjoying long dinners beneath a starry sky to late night dancing beneath multicoloured strobe lights, so whether you're looking for romance or parties, you'll find a resort that's perfect for you. Praia da Rocha’s main esplanade bustles with people enjoying the excellent choice of bars, restaurants and clubs. If you’re feeling lucky, you could try your hand at the casino. Alvor is rather low-key, unlike São João and Albufeira where you will find the famous ‘Strip’ with a wealth of lively open-air bars, restaurants and discos. Sights & Sounds in The Algarve Sightseeing: Behind the Algarve’s picture-postcard coastline is a rural landscape of sleepy villages, patchwork fields and citrus and olive groves. Each spring the countryside is cloaked with wild flowers. Beyond are the eucalyptus, pine and cork-oak covered foothills and the Monchique and Caldeirao Mountains that separate the Algarve from Alentejo further north. The views from the 900m summit of Foia Mountain are spectacular. Sun & Sand in The Algarve The Algarve has one of the world’s finest natural shorelines – 167km of golden beaches swept clean by the Atlantic – rated by many as the best in Europe. The European Foundation for Environmental Education has awarded 1/3 of all beaches at the Algarve “Blue Flag" status. Secluded bays framed by red sandstone cliffs give way to seemingly endless sandy beaches while the warm waters are perfect for swimming and snorkelling. The coast west of Faro is craggy, with ochre-coloured cliffs, secluded bays and delightful coves. East of Faro there are offshore islands, blue lagoons, longer and straighter beaches and warmer water. Find out more about Portland Holidays, including prices and availability.
