Algarve Blog

This Algarve blog is intended to keep you in touch with the latest in Algarve affairs. Now that I'm living here, I'm trying to keep you updated with what's going on in the Algarve (on Portugal's southern coast) and around those wonderful beaches.

So, here's my regular take on occurrences in what used to be my favourite vacation spot... but is now my favourite place to live.

Algarve Carnivals

It's almost that time of year again, and I'm stuck in Scotland, plotting how to get back to Algarve and enjoy some laid-back carnival atmosphere.

It'll all kick off next Sunday over three days (14th to 16th February), with the biggest bash, as usual, in Loule (the site of the original of all Algarve carnivals). You have to pay a few euros to see the festivities, but I always think it's worth the cost.

In the smaller towns and villages, however, the cost is nada, nothing. You just pay for your mint julep (or whatever's your favourite tipple) sit back and let the fun processions pass you by!

I always have an great time, especially if I'm enjoying it with friends...

So, now all I need to do is get online again and book that flight!

Algarve, here I come!
