About the Algarve…

The Algarve is famous for its sunshine — over 300 days a year — and relaxed lifestyle by the sea.

It’s a place where mild winters invite year-round outdoor living. The local food is a highlight, with fresh seafood and sweet almond treats taking center stage. Beyond the beaches, you’ll find charming towns, traditional markets, and a welcoming pace of life that makes the region popular with both residents and investors.
