Learn Portuguese in Algarve

It’s true, you can visit or live in the Algarve and get by without speaking much Portuguese since most Algarvians are very accommodating and speak English.

But if you’re looking for an opportunity to learn one of the world’s most spoken languages during your visit to the Algarve or if you’re moving down to the Algarve, then here are two good options to get you started.

Bio Fruits & Veg

Are you looking out for both your health and the environment? If so, you might want to head out to Faro’s Municipal Market to pick up some great produce and kick off the Biologic Agriculture week that starts today.

Things To Do in Algarve November

In the Algarve we never really think Winter will arrive; our beautiful clear blue skies and sunny days, fool us into believing we’re a year round tropical local. With November’s arrival, we’re reminded that even with great weather, the days are getting cooler and the evenings even chillier. For cold feet sufferers like myself, socks and slipper time has arrived. But gorgeous sunny days and cooler evenings are hardly a reason to complain, especially when there is plenty to do, see, eat and drink. After all, this is the time of year to bring out the spirits and warm up, from muscatels to medronho.

If you’re stuck from something to do, now that swimming seaon is over, except for those brave brave surfers, check out this months calender of events to stay busy…and if in doubt about the weather, a scarf and sweater will get you through most days, and if you’re like me - warm socks!
