    This is great. Thanks for sharing. When you said off season which month of the year did you visit? I am planing to visit this November hoping the it would still be sunny and warm.

    • @ritzytravelguide
      @ritzytravelguide  8 місяців тому +1

      Hi there, we visited the last week of April, which together with Autumn is an ideal time, as its far less busy. The weather in November will be about 21c 70f. We have been in the Algarve slightly later, in December and it's still very pleasant.

    Loved the video, especially the restaurant with the Cataplana. We visited in early March this year. That was really off-season ! A lot of restaurants still closed and boarded up. What month did you visit ?

    • @ritzytravelguide
      @ritzytravelguide  9 місяців тому

      Hi, we were there mid April. That extra 4 weeks obviously made all the difference!

    Looks like the Benidorm of Portugal (maybe not as extreme): a brash and bustling bar/club scene but plenty of more sophisticated attractions too.
    What constitutes the "off season"? I know Albufeira is a popular winter destination for the older crowd, when the Strip is, presumably, in hibernation.

    • @ritzytravelguide
      @ritzytravelguide  Рік тому +1

      A great time to go would be March to May and September to October. Picture perfect weather at those times. Lesser tourist numbers and the nice restaurants are in full swing

    The wife and I have just returned on Monday from abuferia .we are not old fuddy duddies and like our music but the old town was just a rabbel every place that had a band or music was playing it a full blast and trying to drown each other out .and I have never seen so many gangs of men not teenagers but older men who were drunk and loud in my life .we will never go back again .

      Why don't you go to the real Algarve? Like Cacela Velha, Cabanas de Tavira, Tavira, Santa Luzia........or the other way towards Sagres.

      Hi there, yes I'm afraid most likely the beaches will be packed, but the closer you go to the end the better, as a lot of the European schools start going back into session
