The Algarve… chances are you immediately think of crowded beaches, lively chaos, and packed terraces. But did you know that there is also a completely different side?
Welcome to the Eastern Algarve (also known as the Sotavento). Here, there are no crowded boulevards, but quiet island beaches, fishing villages where time seems to stand still, and nature where you spontaneously forget your phone for a moment. (Yes, really!)
This is the Algarve for people looking for something just a little different. Less touristy, more local, and honestly, just nice and relaxed.
In this blog, I’ll take you along to the most beautiful places, fun activities, lovely places to stay, and a few hidden gems that you won’t find in every travel guide.
Where is the Eastern Algarve actually located? The eastern Algarve lies between Faro and the Spanish border. Think of it as the quieter little brother of the west. Its all about vast sandy beaches, lagoons and islets and its a lot less crowded!
