  Easter week

  29 mar – 5 aprPåsk & stilla veckanTrångtStängningar

  Good Friday is a national holiday and Easter Sunday a day for family lunches. Many Portuguese take the week around it off, so hotels fill and rates rise for the first busy spell of the year, and some shops and museums close on Friday and Sunday. Källa ↗

  Wildfire season inland

  15 jun – 30 sep · vanligtvisRöksäsong

  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. Källa ↗

• Säsong

  Sea warm enough to swim

  20 jun – 20 okt · vanligtvis

  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 janJul & nyårStängningar

  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. Källa ↗
