Summertime is clearly the busiest time of the year, reaching a climax in august with a popular annual event: the sardine festival. The mild climate of the Algarve, and many sunny winter days attract a multinational crowd in all seasons, exploring the regional markets, visiting historical sites, strolling along the river boulevard or just sipping a drink in a garden bar.

On the first class golf courses in the Region , golf can be played even in winter.

Warm seawaters and gorgeous rock formations make the beaches in the Algarve particularly alluring, Praia da Rocha - next to Portimão - presents itself as a cosmopolitan beach resort where you can join a wide range of activities, dine in one of the many excellent national and international restaurants and afterward enjoy the vibrant nightlife for which the Algarve is famous.

Safaris by jeep, mountain biking, horse riding or walking can take you along back roads and trails trough the Bio-park Monchique where abundant flora and spectacular views await you. Go in the opposite direction and follow the call of the sea. Boats are available in the modern Portimão marina or on the boulevard along the river for inshore and big game fishing. They will also take you out to the caves along the Algarvian coast, dolphin spotting at Ponta da Piedade, or on a scenic trip upriver from Portimão to the historical town of Silves.
