Why you should spend time in the Algarve in the winter time.



When you think about the Algarve, you usually think about sun and beaches. What confused me is why they think this will go away in the winter time. Yes the temperature is going to be lower, but most days you will still be able to pull off wearing a t-shirt. Here are some things that are great about the lower seasons in the Algarve:

• You can go for great long walks on the beach without getting too hot and ending up not being able to move.
• The beaches are empty so it’s almost as if you have a completely private beach.
• You can go horse riding either just around Pinetrees or sometimes you might be lucky enough to even go on the beach. Something which would never be allowed in the summer time! 
• At Dunas Douradas Beach Club there is a heated indoor pool (a lot of the apartments and villas also have private Jacuzzis)
• You can play tennis without getting too hot(although that is no promise as it does get quite hot on some days)
• You can actually spend some time in your room with a view and enjoy it, rather than feeling guilty about not soaking up the rays every minute of the day.
• Winter months are perfect time to enjoy some of the best golf courses in Algarve. You can not only avoid summer queues but also have a more enjoyable game due to the temperature being better suited.  
• The prices to stay in the resort are quite a lot lower than in the high seasons. (have a look on our websites to compare the different rates)
• Flights are usually very cheap meaning that you can easily go for just a weekend.
• If you are very lucky it could still be sunbathing weather but rather than being surrounded by people constantly you actually get breathing space.
• When you go out for dinner and lunch you get better service because there are less people around, meaning that you have the waiters’ full attention.
• You can also always go to Forum Algarve and go shopping where the prices are much lower than places like the UK and Scandinavia.

Most people tend to only visit the Algarve in the summer time because they think that that is the only time worth going but we far from agree... and hopefully you will have changed your mind after reading this!
