Algarve
Sea caves, a lagoon nature reserve, and 40% of the year in two months.
The Algarve concentrates a very large share of its nights in July and August, which is precisely why the rest of the year is the interesting part: the Ria Formosa lagoon, the Costa Vicentina cliffs on the west coast, and a golf industry built around Vilamoura and Quinta do Lago all work better outside the peak.
