Where to start
I've put together a few guides based on what people actually ask me the most — beaches, markets, hidden gems, and the towns worth building a trip around. Each one comes from things I've genuinely done, eaten, or found myself, not pulled together from other sites.
Algarve beach guide
From dramatic clifftop walks to the calmest island beaches, sorted by vibe so you can pick based on what kind of day you want, not just what looks nice in a photo.

Algarve markets
A day-by-day guide to the region's best local and gypsy markets — real hours, real locations, and the ones actually worth planning a morning around.
