Car Hire makes a Holiday

If you ever thought that the Algarve offered holiday makers only endless beaches with water sports and rock pools, or beautiful modern hotels with massive pools never far from a good restaurant and bar then you would be forgiven, but in reality this brilliant holiday destination offers all these ideal holiday features but also more.

If you get yourself a hire car you will be able to enjoy all that Portugal has to offer in form of its sights, locations and charms. The Algarve offers historic sights and ancient villages to natural beauty that will take your breath away.

Portugal as a whole is home to a lot of hidden gems; culture, history, peaceful mini beaches and friendly fun night life. An excellent example of some of the old fashioned Algarve is Loule, an ancient market location that still plays home to stalls today. Tavria is a brilliant example of ancient architecture and is full of tiny zigzagged roads to lose yourself in. If you're lucky you'll find one of the many fishing villages that have a little restaurant offering traditional mouth-watering Portuguese food.

Due to the large tourist industry within the Algarve it's highly likely you'll only have to drive a short distance to find a theme park or marine zoo with lots of activities for all ages. These attractions have entertaining down to a fine art, with there being the usual dolphin and whale shows coupled with acrobatics done by parrots and reptiles. It was the first time I ever saw a parrot ride a bicycle!

There is a totally different landscape and climate available if you fancy a change up in the Monchique Mountains. The views from this high point are simply beautiful. The other extreme that you could opt for is to delve down in the underwater caves of Grutas do Xorino where you'll soon forget all about the beaches above you.

Don't dismiss The Algarve as a "has been" destination and have a truly great holiday this year.
