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!

Algarve Guide: Things to do in October

The evenings are getting chilly and although there still some die hard beach lovers trying to get the last possible drop out of summer, reality is upon us, fall has arrived. This was cemented by smoking chestnut vendors on the streets this past weekend. But before we pack away all the summer cloths, it looks like we’re still due to have some warm summer days. So enjoy the last bit of summer, with this great calendar of events for October from the Algarve Tourism.

Algarve Photography Workshops

Photography, is one of those words that can convey different things to different people. To me it’s traveling in time, capturing a split second in someones life, an event, a place, and sometimes even an emotion. It can take you up, down, backward, forward and to places you’d never see otherwise. It opens our eyes, ears, arms and if done well also our hearts. It lets us travel anywhere in and out of our world, and its the only way we have to capture a moment in time forever, the only tool that returns time as gift.

As an appreciator of great photographers such as Annie Liebovitz, Sebastiao Salgado and many others, I had never really considered stepping behind a serious camera and actually be able to snap a good photo myself. But sometimes passions sneak up on you, and after discovering I couldn’t continue to inflict anymore needless abuse on my tiny Canon PowerShot SD300, it was time to move up, meet a staid contender and learn the art more seriously.
