Pardon Me, But I Can’t Get Enough of Algarve!

#cityplaybook Algarve’s coastline is pure drama—rugged limestone cliffs, sea caves, and turquoise water stretching endlessly under a bold Atlantic sky. This stretch near Carvoeiro and Benagil is a quiet stunner: less crowded than the beaches of Lagos, but just as breathtaking. Boardwalks hug the cliff edges, while sunlit trails lead to hidden coves perfect for a swim or a pause. How to Get There: From Lisbon by train: Take the Alfa Pendular or Intercidades to Tunes Station, then transfer to a regional train toward Lagoa or Portimão. The journey takes 3.5–4.5 hours. By car from Lisbon: About 2.5–3 hours on the A2 and A22 highways—smooth roads with scenic stops. By air: Faro Airport is Algarve’s main gateway, with direct flights from major European cities like Paris, Amsterdam, London, and Frankfurt. From Faro, it’s about a 45-minute drive to Carvoeiro. Whether you come by rail, road, or air—pardon me, but you just might not want to leave. #travel #portugal
