Where do most people go in Portugal when they visit the Algarve?
Generally, tourists from the UK will visit one of the following destinations: Albufeira, Portimao or Quateria. But why? These places are ridden with British owned restaurants and high rise buildings.

Now you may think that having a slightly cheaper hotel means you will be getting a bargain holiday in Europe. NO!

So when it comes to finding a cheap holiday in Portugal, simple go off the beaten track and visit the more Portuguese places. Places such as Faro, Olhao and Tavira are great little towns that are full of pure Portugal. Get hunting for that cheap holiday in Portugal.
