When to visit
If you're planning a holiday in the Algarve, our top picks for the best time to travel would be January and May
January
Sunny all year round, January's temperatures are cooler but still pleasant during the day - although you might need to wrap up in the evenings. A perfect time for tennis and golf
May
Moderate warmth and reliably dry, it's not yet peak season so less crowded. You could try dipping your toes in the Atlantic by surfing at Costa Vicentina or just relax and enjoy the region's slow pace
