The Algarve. Think of the Algarve and you think of sunshine breaks and relaxing holidays. You imagine golden beaches on the coast of calm sea waters, sun-kissed tourists relaxing and sampling the delights that this wonderful region of Portugal has to offer. Everywhere you go, you are surrounded by bright colours, from the golden sands, to the crystal clear waters, the clear blue skies, the vivid green grass, and the white-washed walls of the buildings in the Algarve's old towns. There is no one best way to explore this region of Portugal. The seemingly endless coastline includes some of the world's most beutiful beaches, but by venturing just a few miles inland, you can lose yourself in the heritage and history of the Algarve.
It could be said that the majority of people take a holiday to Portugal to enjoy long relaxing days on the beautiful sun drenched beaches that Portugal is renowned for. There is however another part of Portugal which many people are starting to discover and that is the National Parks and the Serra da Estrla which is the country's highest mountain range.
If you are staying at a hotel in Portugal you will no doubt be offered excursions to these places but apart from the fact that they can work out to be very expensive, there is far better way of visiting them and that is by car, you are not restricted to the times specified by the tour company and you will basically be able to do as you please and travelling by car will save you an awful lot of money.
