The region of Southern Portugal known as the Algarve is one of the most paradisal places on the planet. The pristine weather, sprawling beaches, first class golf courses, family-friendly people, and colourful culture make the Algarve an idyllic location for anyone looking to vacation, retire, raise a family, or even purchase an investment property. Here are 5 of the most attractive features of this geographical hotspot:

1) Climate

If you were made for sunny days then you were made to live in the Algarve. The Algarve is a main target for some of the most sensational sunshine in all of Europe. Over three thousand hours of direct sunlight shines down on the Algarve each year; and what's more, during the summer months (June to September) there is an average of 12 hours of sunlight each day. The Spring and Winter months are also incredibly mild with temperatures ranging from 22 degrees Celsius in October to 15 degrees Celsius in February. Suffice it to say that no matter where one decides to reside in the Algarve, there will be a thoroughly pleasant climate to bask in all year round.

What's more, there are many retirement homes, villas, apartments, and golf homes for sale or for rent right on or near these pristine courses, making them ideal locations for the avid golfer or for anyone else interested in having a quiet, peaceful piece of property.

 

4) Boating and Racing

If that's not enough, there is the marvellous Algarve Motor Park that features ongoing professional formula one racing events. The Motor Park also includes a technology park, a go-kart track, and a state-of-the-art sports complex. There are also many luxury hotels and apartments near the Motor Park for anyone interested in getting up close and personal with all the action.

 

5) Culture and People

Last but not least we must talk about the diversity of the people and culture in the Algarve. Algarvians are truly a warm and gracious people, hospitable to both tourists and neighbours alike. The gorgeous weather and lush vegetation that permeates the Algarve inspires life and movement in all residents and visitors; there is no shortage of music and dance echoing throughout the city streets of the Algarve. It is not uncommon to hear traditional instruments like the accordion, and dances like the Corridinho, filling homes and shops everywhere. Along with dancing and music, however, fishing is also an important part of the cultural life of the Algarvian, with daily fish auctions and vibrant street markets adding even more life to this beautiful region of southern Portugal.
