Tour Destinations in Portugal
Albufeira, on the Algarve, is justly famous for its endless expanse of clean sandy beaches and ‘The Strip’ – a mile long street of bars, restaurants and discos leading to the beach. The temperatures are warm with plenty of sunshine and this, combined with the excellent nightlife, and the narrow winding streets and excellent fish restaurants of the Old Town, will provide for a memorable tour.
Lisbon was named ‘World’s Leading City Break Destination’ at the 2017 World Travel Awards and this lively city has a great maritime history of exploration. Around the city you will find an abundance of bars and plenty of music for all types. With 3000 years of fascinating history, a lovely Mediterranean climate and an unspoilt coastline, Lisbon is a very worthwhile destination to discover and should provide a memorable tour, while the nightlife around the harbour area is excellent. There are also a variety of activities to keep your group occupied, such as boat trips, golf courses, wineries, high ropes course or simply spend time sunbathing on the beach.
Alfamar Beach & Sports Resort has excellent facilities for an athletics tour. The complex has hosted a number of international athletes from England, Ireland and Finland. Accommodation is ideally situated within the complex, set directly on the endless sandy beach of ‘Praia da Falsia’ and surrounded by a wide pine tree landscape. The local town of Albufeira provides an excellent opportunity to experience what the Algarve has to offer with its narrow winding streets and excellent fish restaurants located on the harbour front in the ‘Old Town’ and the excellent nightlife on ‘The Strip’ which provides a mile long street of bars restaurants and discos.
Monte Gordo gives a host of athletics training opportunities whilst enjoying an area which has transcended from a former sleepy fishing village to become one of the popular areas in the Algarve boasting a fine beach along the south coast.
