It’s also the month we start seeing a lot of pale hibernating bodies (locals and tourists alike) popping up on the beach, and soaking up the sun. If you like to relax on the beach don’t forget a good sun screen with UVA and UVB, the sun is very strong here in the south, so make sure you’re armed with some good stuff, to get you that golden tan, safely. Then get out side, there are soo many beaches to choose from. This year we started with Praia da Faro, Tavira Island and Praia da Rocha, in Portimao.

May also arrives with a variety of festivals, sporting and cultural events, so spring is ramping up quick with lot’s of things to see and do.

Algarve Things To Do in March

This past weekend, the thermometer on our terrace tipped 20 Celsius, and we’ve been having consecutive 20+ temperature days here in the Algarve. This is by far one of the joys of living in a sub-tropical climate - the arrival of spring also marks the arrival of even warmer days, making us long for summer life to arrive.

Now, what’s the temperature outside from where you’re reading this post?

Algarve Guide: To Do and See in January

A fresh new year has just arrived, what better time to look forward to something new, different and maybe even something that takes us out of our comfort zone. I like the coming of the new year more than spring, it lets us look back and evaluate but more importantly, look forward to the unknown that’s open for anything and seems limitless. The Portuguese new year isn’t over until king’s day on January 6th, but as usual in the Algarve, there’s plenty going on to get the year off to a buzzing start!
