About Algarve

Taking pride of place in Portugal’s southernmost region, the Algarve is famed for its mild sunny climate, long summers, beautiful beaches, tiny coves, Instagram-worthy rock formations, crystalline waters and world-famous golf, among other attractions. Dramatic scenery abounds on this beach-laden coastline that runs from the Spanish border in the east to the Atlantic Ocean in the west. There are definitely two Algarves: one bustling with tourists packed into high-rise hotels and cheek-by-jowl apartments and the other “authentic” Algarve. Of course, you can easily guess which one TRIPWIX is interested in! We went in search of the tranquil Algarve, where you can engage with the true essence of a community renowned for its warmth, generosity and natural beauty.
