How to be Portuguese...
What can we say about the Algarve lifestyle other than it's wonderful, that's why you come here on holiday and return again and again. Long hot, idyllic summer days with cloudless blue skies and long cool evenings, that the Portuguese enjoy to the max.
At night a billion stars above you, lead to unforgettable memories. After a few days on the beach by the sea, you will feel an exceptional slow down of your senses. You can breath deeply again. Your senses are alive. You smell the fresh sea air, taste the charcoal grilled fish or have a market fresh salad and finally have a snooze on the beach. There will never be an app for this feeling!
Five Crowns on Alvor dunes and beach. A day to remember. Also try Restinga Ria Restaurante on the Alvor beach. If it's good enough for Prime Ministers, its good enough for us! Both have reasonable prices!
Grilled Salmon above, Restaurant São Gonçalo, Lagos and Prawn and squid Kebab, at Cinco Quinas (Five Crowns) in Alvor. And of course the all time favourite, grilled sardines are found pretty much everywhere near the coast! The Portuguese love children. They are welcome in 98% of the Algarvian restaurants. Children's portions are served or they will be happy to let you split a dish in two. They can always play on the terrace or just on the beach in front when they get bored.
People come here for the sense of total relaxation, don't spoil it by being anxious if your dinner takes a little longer to arrive. There is never a rush in Portugal. Why would there be? Tomorrow will come as surely as the dawn follows dusk. And that is how you have to think if you are in the Algarve for a holiday. Just have another glass of the marvelous local wine or chilled beer or even a nice large local brandy.
