Summer is in full swing here in the Algarve. Not only do we have lots of visitors from all over the world, but now that school is out for summer, it's also the time that many Portuguese people who live further North start to descend on the region!
It is lovely to experience the buzz of places like Lagos, and Praia da Luz in these months, and there is a great vibe in our local towns and cities. One thing we love is that even in these busy months, we can still find a lovely quiet spot on our favourite beaches!
That is the good thing about being in the know....space to read a book in peace, with no one right next to you....bliss. While some people who live here start complaining about busy restaurants and a bit more traffic, they forget that the biggest income for Portuguese people in the Algarve comes from tourism.
Without these busier months, local businesses wouldn't thrive, so less complaining and let's make the most of the summer. If it all becomes too much, we can always find that secluded spot to chill out in!
