We visited several parks and nature reserves during our stay. We recommend the Ria Formosa Natural Park near Lagos, as well as the Ria de Alvor Reserve. If, like us, you&#8217;re passing through Praia De Odeceixe, stop off at the Alentejo Natural Park! Other reserves in the region include Costa Vicentina, Sapal de Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo Ant\u00f4nio.

We loved visiting them. Ponta da Piedade particularly impressed us. It&#8217;s a magnificent, windswept rocky outcrop. Sumptuous hikes take you to the base of the cliffs and make you feel so small! You can also visit Cape Saint-Vincent or Cabo De Vicente. Close to Sagres, it is, in our opinion, representative of the seaside sculpted by the ocean that gives southern Portugal its charm.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Algarve\/Sagres\/Cabo-de-Sao-Vicente\/i-SXWjjNw\/0\/D77fkPLM2Dgdh35qBvVCjQvk9FfjcQtjncFpNvbBR\/L\/cabo_san_vicente_Portugal_IMG_6463-L.jpg\" alt=\"Cape S&#xE3;o Vicente\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cap Saint-Vincent<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 6 &#8211; Its towns and villages of character<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the midst of these superb landscapes, you&#8217;ll find charming towns and picturesque villages.

For example, we really enjoyed visiting the Fortaleza de Sagres, a massive fortress that symbolizes 15th-century Portuguese exploration. And we loved the color of the Fort of Sagr\u00e9s and its views of the city.

We were also enchanted by the Algarve&#8217;s handicrafts, ceramics, objets d&#8217;art and textiles. Finally, the region is alive with local festivities, which in high season are very attractive. The town of Loul\u00e9, for example, hosts a carnival, religious processions and festivals!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Algarve\/Faro\/Episcopal-palace\/i-pFV4qDB\/0\/MkNdc43Nz25jwbLfJwmk4cW8sccsq3LkpVd7dkxC3\/L\/faro-episcopal-palace-55-L.jpg\" alt=\"azulejos from the Episcopal Palace in Faro\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 10 &#8211; Its mild climate<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s face it, the Algarve is also a destination of choice thanks to its mild climate!

In fine weather, it&#8217;s obviously warmer, around 30\u00b0 during the day and 20\u00b0 at night.

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Busy tourist season<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its exceptional beaches and sites, the Algarve is a popular summer destination, especially in July and August. You can therefore choose to come outside the high season. Prices are more affordable and there are some interesting last-minute offers. The Algarve enjoys an ideal year-round climate. Take advantage of this opportunity to avoid the crowds and even enjoy the sun in winter!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Algarve\/Carvoeiro\/Benagil-sea-cave\/i-djKNzcq\/1\/FWFdvzMx29QgQ4T8cMg8ph3JBF8TckQD2Zz33X5gC\/L\/Algarve_Board_Trips_Benagil_Sea_Caves_Portugal_IMG_5107-L.jpg\" alt=\"Boat Trip  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The prices<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travelling to Portugal has a certain cost, even if it is an inexpensive destination overall. Prices in the Algarve rise in summer.

In our opinion, the interior is wilder. A few villages and pretty lakes are well worth a visit. The west coast, washed by the Atlantic, is also worth discovering. We loved Praia De Odeceixe, its river lagoon and the surrounding area. At the other end of the region, the east and the border with Spain are finally worth seeing. We enjoyed Praia Da Manta Rota and Castro Marim.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"
