Top things to do when it’s raining in the Algarve

What’s the weather like where you are? As the weather gets colder around the world, it isn’t crazy to want a little winter sun. The Algarve is home to amazing weather with an average of 300 days of sunshine a year and with temperatures in the winter never really hitting below 10 degrees. This is what makes this coastal city the best winter resort!

 

Just a few hours away from the capital, Lisbon, and with so many cheap international flights transporting you to this piece of paradise, here’s our top reasons why the Algarve is the perfect romantic getaway:

 

It’s home to so many Michelin restaurants

Fun fact: The Algarve is home to 6 of Portugal’s 14 Michelin restaurants! Now you know how the saying goes, “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”. Well why not leave the cooking to the pros and get your partner to fall in love with you (and the Algarve) all over again by tasting some of the best cuisine Portugal has to offer. Some of our top recommendations are: Vila Joya Restaurant and Ocean Restaurant, if you want some amazing food with amazing views of the sea.

Located on the eastern part of the Algarve, this scenic spot alongside O Elephante in the Ponta de Piedade area is not to be missed! Visiting these caves are a must see in the Algarve and you can even go exploring inside them! To access them we advise taking a boat or kayaking to them.
