Algarve Best Places To Stay Wintertime / Cheapest Rent - YouTube

We get asked a lot on this channel  about how much does it cost to rent an  

apartment in the wintertime in The Algarve and as  many of you know we only ever go to The Algarve  

in the wintertime to escape the Canadian  cold and snow so what do you have Tina  

- So we have been doing a lot of  research just on how much it does  

cost per month and we are going to show  you and take you to 6 of our favourite  

places in The Algarve - And not only our favourite  but the most affordable places in The Algarve too  

So Tina we've come back to one of our favourite  places it's just absolutely beautiful here this  

was one of the very first resort towns on  The Algarve it's another 4 kilometre beach so  

- Like way down there - This is what the sea front  looks like we're only halfway down it as well  

(yeah) it's lots of apartments lining  it shops cafes so we've walked all the  

way down here Tina looking all the  way back there but pretty flat and  

look at all these apartments here - They're just  amazing isn't it hey, that there's so many places  

to stay here we are right at the end - Nowhere else  to go - Oh no you have to turn round and go back

- In the background you can start to see Vilamoura  as well so Quarteira and Vilamoura are very much  

twin towns and of course there's one thing  Tina that is just valuable as gold these days  

can you guess - Free wi-fi

Another beautiful day in The Algarve - Yes it is

- One of the nice things Tina is when you  come to the western side of Armacao de Pera  

you can find this little piece of land here next  to The Holiday Inn and it's free parking so anyway  

this is starting off from the parking spot next  door to The Holiday Inn and we're gonna walk

one of the beautiful churches that we pass it's  

just gorgeous isn't it a restaurant right down  the ocean - Isn't it beautiful they've got all  

A Fort (yeah) and there's also a convent attached to  it and then there's the cutest little church

one of the things that we do like about being  here is it isn't hilly did you notice that -There's a  

huge difference as a place it's very flat - There's  another 4 kilometres of beach that you can walk on  

with the apartments hotels  shops on top of the cliffs

magnificent and you know what there's  hardly any people on the beach - No I guess  

technically it's still wintertime so there's  a whole lookout point here where you can come  

and see the town in the background  come along and look at the ocean

- Sardines and potatoes and salad for €8.90  - That sounds pretty inexpensive how long  

is happy hour - This is one of those  extended happy hours Norm it goes from  

9am in the morning to 5 o'clock in the afternoon

- We're in Portimao - Yes we are - And this is where we  were last time we came down here and we thought  

this is all that was around for Praia da Rocha  or for Portimao and it's a nice little area  

but this is a river that we can see in front of us  

and it's not the ocean it's the  river that goes up to Silves

Okay Tina so where are we today - We're in Alvor

Cheers, cheers - Here's to us in Alvor

just the advertising - It's amazing - Huge isn't  it - I can't believe how many Irish bars there  

are here this is the third one since we've just  had lunch - The oldest church in Alvor  

so this predates the other one The Church Bar  - Another Irish Bar - Beautiful the colours the architecture

here we are at the church  in Alvor it's nice to be back here again Tina

this is the resort area of Alvor so  you're out of town just a little while  

you can walk into town from here couldn't  you Tina - Yeah because there's this huge boardwalk

- Just outside of Lagos in The Algarve (yeah)  

I got my beer cheers just look at the beautiful glass Norm - I know it's beautiful - Now it's kind of funny  

isn't it but the deal will be €1 for yours  and probably €4 for my glass of wine  

- So Tina I think we found some apartments away from the  seafront these these look modern - Yeah these look  

very pretty well there seems to be two one on this  side - Some for holidays and there's some for buying  

(yeah) so what do you think should we buy one and  stay here - Oh I don't know

- So this is the centre Olhos de Agua - We're noticing aren't we  Norm all the cars are coming down here turning  

around at the bottom coming back up because  there's no parking we learned that last time

- There saying this restaurant is from the  1960s (wow) this is one of the beautiful  

things about the beaches of The Algarve  and Olhos de Agua in particular is just the  

rock formations that have been eroded  away - Yeah and they're just right there  

on the beach - It's just beautiful seeing  the cliffs in the background the sea  

the sand - It's perfect isn't it - So this gives  an idea of the little town just from the beach
