A nice trip to the more crowded and touristic places in the Algarve, like Lagos, Portimão and Albufeira is easy to make with your rent-a-car (20-30 min.) or by bus.
Faro Airport is 75 minutes by car. It’s worth visiting the bigger places in the Alentejo, Vila Nova de Milfontes and Odemira. But also a visit to the nice little towns with their narrow alleys can be most rewarding.
Have a coffee or a drink in a small coffee bar and breath the hospitality. If you prefer luxuous shopping, then shop till you drop in the big shopping centers of Guia or Portimão, where you can find the well known brands.
