The ‘Old Town’ has cobbled lanes, delightful Portuguese architecture and many shops to explore. Along with cafés that offer fine coffee, and restaurants that offer fish fresh from the sea. The modern side of the town can be enjoyed in the Lagos Marina, across a footbridge over the Bensafrim river, with a number of restaurants and bars, along many boats to admire.

For those considering booking holiday accommodation on the western Algarve, Tee Times Algarve Holidays recommends Yellow Lagos Meia Praia, Tivoli Lagos, Hotel Luz Bay, Vila Gale Lagos, Marina Club Lagos Resort and more.

There are several absolutely beautiful beaches, easily accessible from the centre of town. Meia Praia, the most well known of the beaches, is about 4 km long which, with lovely clean sand, is as delightful to stroll along as it is to relax on. There is also the Dona Ana beach, which is admired for its magical turquoise-like water and rock formations. This beach, with a spectacular cliff-face towering over it, is sheltered from the sea breeze.

For golfers wanting to play on the western Algarve, Tee Times Golf Agency recommends Alamos, Alto, Boavista, Gramacho, Espiche, Palmares, Parque Floresta – St.Antonio and many more golf courses.

Tee Times Portugal Holidays: Ferrari Challenge – Autodrome International Algarve, Portimão – Portugal – 18th – 20th of July 2014

Since the Autodrome International Algarve opened in 2008, this facility on the western Algarve has become a firm favourite of the customers of Tee Times Portugal Holidays.

With a track of nearly 3 miles (4692 metres), involving 17 twists and turns, driving skills will certainly be on display and the competition very entertaining for this, the 4th round of the Ferrari Challenge. The packed schedule of this motor-racing event, including practice runs and qualifying races, offers for those on holiday in Portugal plenty of motor-racing fun in the sun.

The Ferrari Challenge is one of the most popular one-make series, bringing together complete track novices and those with competition experience. To avoid a one-sided contest and assure a good show, both experienced competitors and novice-racers have their own classification and title to compete for.

Along the western Algarve there are many options of excellent accommodation. Among this fine selection, the recommendations of Tee Times Tour Operator for holiday-makers include Tivoli Carvoeiro, Vila Gale Lagos, Longevity Wellness Resort Monchique and more.

For those seeking entertainment away from the race-track, the ‘Slide and Splash’ water-slide park, just outside the town of Lagoa, offers fun and excitement for all the family. As this water-slide park offers about 8 slides, several pools and a jacuzzi, the only decision to be made is which one to try first.

A pre-arranged transport-service to this water-slide park is available, with pickup points from many holiday resorts along the Algarve. Tickets for ‘Slide and Splash’ are available from the Vilamoura offices of Tee Times T. O.

For information on directions to both offices please see:

The Algarve, recognised as Europe’s Best Golf Destination of 2014 by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators, has many excellent golf courses to choose from. Among this fantastic selection of golf courses along the Algarve, Tee Times Golf Agency recommends Faldo, O’Connor Jr., Palmares, Alamos, Boavista, Gramacho, Morgado and many more.
