Why spend the winter in Portugal
Climate
In Portugal, and certainly in the south, the winters are mild. With over 1,200 hours of sunshine between November and April, the Algarve ranks among the best in Europe. Temperatures are mild; in January, it can often still average 18 degrees. The houses can be cold, though, especially in the evenings, so a house with underfloor heating is highly recommended.
We have one!
Beautiful green
Moreover, the Algarve is beautifully green in winter. So it is a lovely time to go hiking and enjoy nature.
And the Algarve is relatively cheap. Having a drink on a terrace or eating at a restaurant is much cheaper than in the Netherlands. Reason enough to go to Portugal for the winter!
See & Do
There is plenty to do in the winter. Take beautiful walks with a Dutch guide, enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the many tasty seafood restaurants, or cycle along the Ecovia. This cycle route runs along the coastline of the Portuguese Algarve region.
Yoga, massages, boat trips, wine tastings, golf. There is plenty to do!
Safe
Portugal scores highly in the Global Peace Index. There is little crime, and the country is one of the safest destinations to visit in Europe. In 2021, it was named the 4th safest country in the world.
But in addition to safety, there is also good healthcare. Both public and private, and the country scores highly in global rankings.
We also maintain contact with general practitioners should this be necessary.
