The Algarve in Portugal is a popular destination for UK tourists due to the fantastic beaches, year round temperate climate and excellent food. Daytime winter temperatures typically reach 15-19 degrees maximum which is ideal for golf, walking, bird-watching and other outdoor activities.
The economy of the Algarve is fuelled by tourism, and much of the money is re-invested into the local economy of the region providing work for many of the local inhabitants. Although the Algarve has experienced much development in recent years, it is still relatively unspoilt compared for example to some parts of the Costa del Sol.
