East Algarve

Portugal

The eastern section from Faro to the Spanish border is sometimes called is the more relaxed side of the Algarve.

​

The coastal strip with its unusual lagoons and long sandy Islands is an almost entirely protected, nature reserve (Parque Natural da Ria Formosa), where many species of birds are nestled.

The more famous West Coast of Faro is a very different picture.

Ochre cliffs, interspersed with mostly small sandy beaches, determine the image here.

​

Weather/Climate: the Algarve occupies the entire width of the Southern most part of Portugal.
The Mediterranean climate which prevails here feels different because of the presence of the Atlantic Ocean, this ensures that the temperatures are milder.

Most rain falls here in the winter period from November until the end of March.
The Algarve has an average of about 3000 hours of sunshine per year which is one of the highest in Europe

Inland it can, by the absence of the sea breeze, sometimes be very hot and dry.
The warmest months are June, July and August, sometimes above 30 ° c. In the winter it drops to about 11 ° C.!
