The best sailing area is on the south coast where Algarve provides a perfect 150 Miles of interesting sailing coast. The west of Faro has small bays and coves mixed by striking rocky outcrops and interesting grottoes. East of Faro the coast comprises sandy offshore islets, which have created protected anchorages and the most wonderful quiet beaches that stretch for miles.

The mainland is divided by the Tagus River, while the northern portion of the country is characterized as mountainous. The climate, meanwhile, is Mediterranean. The warm weather during the summer is what those who love sailing in Portugal want.

Algarve is one of the renowned tourist destinations in Portugal, most because of its excellent weather. As a matter of fact, some who have been here for their holiday decided to buy real estate properties. Moreover, there are a lot of interesting places to visit and beautiful beaches to swim or cruise. Alvor is one of them. Besides the long coastline, you can also enjoy the village, filled with narrow streets, bars, and restaurants. There is also a very old fishing village, which has been preserved very well by the municipality. Walk farther and you can find a natural lagoon.

Whenever you're sailing in Portugal, make sure you can stop by the quaint town of Faro.

There is also a parish church that was built hundreds of years ago, Palacio de Estoi or manor house and the Bronze Age fort found in Santa Barbara de Nexe. West of Faro are more developed areas like Vale de Lobo and Quinta do Lago.

Disembarking from a sailing, you can visit Monchique, a rustic and usually-unexplored town in Portugal. Bordered by the hills of Picota and Foia, Monchique is proud of its cobblestone streets and dark doorways, which eventually lead to small artist shops.
