The Algarve is made up of 16 concelhos (counties), each one having its own unique qualities and charm. The concelho of Albufeira, for example, is a well-known central area of the region, popular with holiday makers looking for sun, sea and nightlife. Loulé concelho, again centrally located, includes purpose-built Vilamoura, with its exclusive marina and world championship golf courses, and the fashionable ‘Golden Triangle’ resorts of Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago, favoured by celebrities from around the world.
To the east and west and further inland, you’ll find less-populated concelhos such as Tavira, Alcoutim, Monchique and Vila do Bispo, with their traditional coastal towns and surrounding countryside, dotted with countless quaint villages. You can take a hike through the mountains of Monchique and feel like you’re the only person on the planet, but in reality, you’re less than an hours’ drive from the vibrant nightlife of Albufeira. That’s the beauty of the Algarve – live here and you can truly have it all! .
