Location Description:
Late spring and early autumn are the best times of year to visit southern Portugal, as days are bright and sunny, but without the intense summer heat or tourist masses. The winter months are mild but are unpredictable, with an equal number of sunny days and grey days. Albufeira should not be considered as a winter sun destination, although but the Algarve does offer some of the best winter weather in mainland Europe. Albufeira has a large permanent population, (with a mixture of ex-pats and Portuguese) and the town never fully closes in the winter, with many restaurants, bars and cafes open year-round.
