We're helping you to find out what is going on in the Algarve across Christmas and New Year!

There aren't many things that can get me out of bed early on a Saturday morning, but the offer of breakfast at Quinta do Mar da Luz is one of them!

We were in Albufeira today and noticed that the area of the old town leading to the tunnel through to part of the beach is in the process of having new drains laid...........(P.S. Albufeira is still a lovely place to visit and it was lovely enjoying an afternoon coffee in the square in the November sunshine!)

After visiting Alvor, Alcoutim and Castro Marim this week we have now added new photos and video clips.
