Photographs taken whilst on holiday on The Algarve, Portugal

There are many sightseeing and touring locations to visit whilst on holiday in The Algarve apart from the brilliant beaches and rocky cliffs found on the Portuguese Southern Coasts around the Albufeira and Portimao areas.

 

We have used many photographs on our other Algarve pages particularly on the "Walks" , however there are still quite a few pictures we liked which were taken whilst out and about. If you have a hire-car and fancy some holiday sightseeing then definitely a trip inland up to the northern edge of the Algarve is worth doing in our opinion with really great countryside, forests and streams to enjoy.
As far as beaches are concerned and in particular nudist/naturist beaches we found that much of the Albufeira - Portimao coastline was so populated that apart from scrambling down to the occasional small coves/beaches (often with great difficultly) being a nudist was not a particularly easy occupation. However if you go off to the Western Atlantic side of The Algarve there are huge (and mostly empty) beautiful beaches - as well as lovely small and just as empty beaches - many available for going nude if you want to without upsetting anyone. You need to be aware that the sea can be quite dangerous on these western coastal beaches with even on apparently quiet days the Atlantic throwing in huge rollers which can create enormous undertow and strong currents. Needless to say there are quite a few surfers making use of the waves.

Our photos may seem a little dark and the beaches etc. somewhat deserted - this was because over our two week walking holiday there was not that much sunshine - and several times fog and occasional heavy rain showers.
Many people do think about staying in Albufeira so our first set of photos are just a few from there including the bizarrely coloured marina area and the town's beach.

The series of photos above and below are all taken around Albufeira
