Hi - i'm new here.
My wife & i, and our 2 kids stayed in Olhao last year, & really enjoyed it. We haven't been away this year, but will be booking up later today for next year. We will be spending the first week on Armona, then the second in either Olhao or Tavira - we haven't decided on that yet.
Last year was our first time in Portugal, having been going to Greece since 1989. I never thought we'd find anywhere as nice as the places we have seen in Greece, but last year was a more relaxed & laid-back holiday than we've ever had, & we saw some lovely places. We did visit everywhere on the Eastern Algarve, & managed to get over to Spain on the second week.
Just need to save up & pay for next year now.
