ALBUFEIRA, ALGARVE: ALFAGAR VILLAGE
Toronto to Faro
Portugal has a rich culture and a dramatic landscape. Savor life slowly as the locals do. Enjoy uncrowded white sand beaches, beautiful caves, picturesque coastlines, traditional villages and some of the best golf courses in Europe. Portugal is a country of strong wine tradition, and mouth-watering cuisine. The excellent quality of its wines is recognized across the world and the Mediterranean diet is part of the identity of the Portuguese gastronomy. With an average temperature of 18 C and a laid-back atmosphere it’s no wonder winter-weary Canadians love Portugal and return year after year.
The Algarve is one of the best kept secrets in Europe known for its spectacular coastline and sandy beaches bound by golden cliffs in small bays and nestling between rocks providing many stunning backdrops for an unforgettable holiday.
This popular, centrally located resort is set in a protected area of natural beauty made up of nine hectares of gardens. Enjoy a stunning cliff- top location overlooking the sea and just a 5 minute drive from Areias de São João’s shopping and entertainment areas. The Alfagar Village offers spacious one-bedroom apartments with amenities included for comfort such as: kitchen, balcony or terrace, free WiFi in the bar and main reception area, restaurant and mini- market on-site, and direct access to Santa Eulalia beach via private steps (10 minute walk).
