This one doesn’t look too bad . . all small bungalows with plenty of space around them. Very basic though so we have not been tempted to rent out of season!
Up until now has always be the same place as we love being close to the markets in Olhao. We keep talking about going elsewhere but as of yet not found anything that is as large, in such great condition and where we want to be. However I will keep looking.
I have found the link for the holiday complex this picture is opposite. As I said too basic, no shops within walking distance and no train station so we won’t be staying there but can see why people do https://www.pedrasdelrei.com/en/pedras-del-rei
Must say it does look rather nice! And close to the beach too. Shame there are no shops or transport. Do you hire a car when in Portugal, or use public transport to get around?
We now hire a car, but on our first trip used public transport and had a great time. The train service is pretty good in the east Algarve, and there are buses between the major towns along the coast. Bit more problematic if you want to go exploring in the hills.
Happy Saturday – hopefully with blue skies!

It’s a wonderful place in winter, tad too busy though in the summer as there’s a huge holiday complex behind me

Flowers? I always think those holiday complexes look so much nicer with greenery around them.

You still staying in the same apartment during the winter or have you discovered anywhere else? I’m working on getting the OH over there in November!
