The restaurants offer a good selection of typical Portuguese fare, together with international cuisine to suit all tastes and budgets.

The local communities are basically farmers and fishermen so markets brimming with fresh local produce are a must for those wishing to experience the real tastes of Portugal. Almonds, figs, olives, oranges and lemons are all grown locally and many delicacies made of these combined with honey are available in the shops. For the souvenir hunter, items made of cork, pewter and pottery are popular. Also leather goods especially shoes, bags and coats are good value.
The currency is the Euro and cash point machines are widely available in all towns. UK bank and credit cards are also acceptable in most establishments in Portugal, though some smaller shops, restaurants and bars in rural areas may only accept cash. The climate is moderate with hot sunshine in the summer months tempered by cooling breezes from the ocean, while the temperatures during spring and autumn are generally a good deal higher than those in the UK. During the winter months of December and January the nights can be quite cold, but in the daytime, the sunshine is often surprisingly warm. In general the Algarve offers a good overall holiday destination which brings many people back year after year.
