What are the Western Algarve Top Attractions?<\/h2>\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Western Algarve has some incredible attractions for individuals, couples and families alike, hence the increasing demand for private villa<\/a> holidays and hotel accommodation. Whether you\u2019re looking to find your sea legs and enjoy some watersport<\/a><\/strong>, put a focus on more land based activities, or enjoy a mix of both, you will be able to here. Read on for some of the best attractions in the Western Algarve<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Silves<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a reason why villa holidays in Silves<\/u><\/a> prove very popular. In the town, you will see vibrant valleys of orange groves<\/strong>, with the focal point being the red sandstone castle standing high against the backdrop. Silves was home to many poets and it isn\u2019t hard to see why when you take in the beauty of the place.<\/p>\n

Water Parks<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are several landmark water parks<\/strong> in the Western Algarve including Aqualand, Aqua Show and Slide and Splash\u00a0<\/strong>where you can spend whole days here if you wish. Perfect for kids and families of all sizes and ages.<\/p>\n

Shopping<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local pottery souvenirs<\/strong> are one of the prettiest and unique gifts you can take home with you. Make sure you visit Porches Pottery for beautiful workmanship, where you can find work decorated with gorgeous flowers, fish, and dragonflies. You can find soap dishes, plant pots, candlesticks and much more. Your items can be shipped home if you need them to be too.<\/p>\n

Olh\u00e3o and Fish Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visiting foreign food markets<\/strong> is always exciting for foodies and in the Algarve a focus is put on fish<\/strong>. Olh\u00e3o has been famous for fishing since the middle ages and here you will find a fish market with over 80 stalls to browse. There are plenty of adorable cafes to stop for refreshment as you shop. Not only will you find a huge fish market in Olhao, you\u2019ll find some of the most charming seafood restaurants<\/strong> in the world. The fish here is like no other, so if you love seafood, make sure you plan to eat here. There\u2019s a waterfront where you can sit and chill out, as well as many nature trails you can follow.<\/p>\n

Golf<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Algarve has a huge range of world-renowned\u00a0golf courses<\/strong> that are frequented by the esteemed, rich, and famous. Top golf courses include the Penina, Monte Rei and Vale do Lobo<\/strong>. \u00a0Fees vary but you can shop around to ensure you get the best deal.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Fishing<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the Algarve is quite famous for vissen<\/a>, why not enjoy some fishing yourself? You can go on a seafari, where you enjoy things like deep sea fishing and reef fishing. These activities are held on catamarans and yachts<\/strong> depending on what you prefer. There are a number of impressive caves to venture into, so the fish won\u2019t be the only beautiful things you see on your outing.<\/p>\n
