The Algarve, otherwise known as the 'Garden of Portugal', has a coastline of 160km and happens to possess the best beaches in the whole of Portugal.

Places to visit while here should include the Cathedral of Silves and the ninth century tunnel ridden Castel dos Mouros. To add a particularly strange flavour to your trip, why not explore the 'Chapel of Bones' in Faro. There are reported to be over a thousand human skulls and bones here altogether.

The great earthquake of 1755 wiped out a lot of early architecture in the Algarve, although there still remains evidence of early Moor, Phoenician and Greek habitation and is a great place to explore and enjoy.
