• Risico

  Wildfire season inland

  15 jun – 30 sep · meestalRookseizoen

  The serra behind the coast burns most summers and the smoke drifts down to the lagoon on the wrong wind. The coast strip itself is rarely at risk. Bron ↗

• Seizoen

  Sea warm enough to swim

  20 jun – 20 okt · meestal

  The sheltered eastern Algarve warms earlier and holds longer than the west, and the island beaches across the lagoon are a boat ride rather than a drive.

  Christmas and New Year

  24 dec – 1 janKerst & nieuwjaarSluitingen

  Christmas is kept at home: from the afternoon of 24 December through the 25th most restaurants, shops and museums close, and 1 January is just as quiet. Restaurants that do open on New Year's Eve usually sell set dinners that book up ahead. Bron ↗
