Buy snow Albufeira

When we moved to the Algarve I was looking forward to blue skies, sunshine and pool days. Wondering what the Algarve in winter is really like? This is our experience. Portugal is one of the sunniest places in Europe and the Algarve in particular boasts around days of sunshine a year, with very little rainfall. Until October we were still basking in temperatures into the 20s. My parents visited in the October school half-term and we spent most of our time exploring the Algarve , sightseeing in Loule, Lagos and Faro. Our closest beach, Vale do Lobo, was still busy with sun seekers and the restaurants and bars overlooking the sea were relatively busy. Boat trips ran less frequently due to choppy waters, but we still managed to get out to see stunning cliffs and rock formations in the Ponta da Piedade. The Algarve climate changed starkly by the beginning of November, with temperatures dropping to below 10 degrees. All of a sudden it was too cold to venture into the pool and our complex emptied of most residents. Built like a cave with stone floors and no insulation, we found the temperature plummeted and we had to start using our air conditioning units as heaters. The Algarve in November and December turned out to be way colder than I expected. That means Portugal in winter can get pretty nippy. I hate being cold with a passion, so working from home in freezing conditions became miserable. We also discovered that the cool weather and poorly-insulated buildings can lead to damp, a problem I think most long-term rentals Algarve must suffer from. We had to start storing our clothes in plastic boxes rather than the wardrobes and keep windows open for ventilation. Andrew has had the same problems at his school, teaching in cold classrooms with electric heaters that make little difference. On a trip to Lisbon in November, our Airbnb host actually remarked on how uncharacteristically cold it had been that year and the coast was even hit by hurricane Leslie, the most severe storm in decades. The Algarve in December was incredibly quiet too, our local area became a ghost town with restaurants closed for the season and deserted beaches. If you like the peace and quiet, this may be a positive point, but I began to feel isolated living in such an empty area. By the time we hit late December, I was looking forward to escaping back to the UK for a dose of central heating over the holidays and a festive buzz. The skies are reliably blue with lots of sunshine, so I go walking every afternoon to warm up and get some sun on my skin. We arrived back from the UK in January more prepared to deal with the cold Algarve temperature. I brought more jumpers with me, plus a huge furry blanket. Great post. Properties there are definitely not equipped to deal with the cold. Sounds like you may not be there for another winter? So Sydney is not the only place with this problem! Good news Gilda! I certainly did miss central heating, but our former home was on the north east coast of England- not known for tropical temperatures. Promises to be good. Hi Johanna, thanks for reading and commenting. Do you live in Tavira? Yes, I bet living in the North East of England prepared you a bit more for the weather! The weather makes such a difference! Candle under a plant pot in each room is cheap and keeps the rooms warm all night or how ever big the candle you have. I hate being cold too. Hubby and i are thonking of retiring to the Algarve in a few years time. I love the sun and the laid back style of living. Thank you. Hi Janie, we actually just spent a second winter in the Algarve, this time in a more modern apartment. It was much warmer this time inside and it made all the difference! I loved this so much, really informative!! My mom and I have been talking about moving to the algarve for around 2 years now, and I have talked about it every single day since then. Is this true? And do you think I would be able to stay in a modern flat by myself without getting lonely? Hi Daniella, thanks for reading and commenting. Good luck! Hi Amy, this is a very informative article, thanks for sharing your experience. What about swimming pools? I am a Brazilian living in the UK and every time I go to Portugal on holidays the water in the swimming pools are freezing! I understand why the sea water in Portugal is cold, the cold Atlantic waters, I get that. Is it just bad luck or is it something to do with the portuguese weather?? Thanks for helping! Yes, the water can be freezing! By summer the pools are nice and refreshing. Hi Amy, wondering if you could suggest a short-term 2 bedroom rental unit near Lagos in December?
