  Sea warm enough

  25 jun – 5 okt · meestal

  This is the Atlantic rather than the Mediterranean and upwelling keeps it a couple of degrees cooler than the eastern Algarve. The sheltered coves west towards Lagos warm faster than the open Praia da Rocha.

• Risico

  Serra de Monchique fire season

  1 jul – 30 sepRookseizoen

  The eucalyptus hills behind the coast burn most summers and a bad one puts smoke over the whole bay and closes the road up to Monchique. The coast itself is rarely at risk. Bron ↗

Rustig — schoolvakanties in 2 van de markten die de plek vullen, een van de slechtste maanden qua weer

• Seizoen

  Winter long-stay season

  1 nov – 31 mrtWinterzonseizoen

  Northern Europeans take apartments by the month and the golf courses and the walking routes are the draw rather than the beach. Plenty stays open, but the nightlife strip does not.

  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 ↗
