What to do in the Algarve at New Year? The Algarve is a fantastic place to visit during the festive season, and sees many visitors flock here during the winter months to enjoy an out of season holiday. While of course it is possible to enjoy many of the traditional Christmas and New Year in the Algarve traditions as you would at home, there is also plenty to see and do that will make seeing in the New Year in the Algarve a time to remember! Algarve Housing like to inform you what and where to do in the Algarve, Portugal during New Year.

Of course one of the best things about jetting off to the Algarve at New Year is the weather. In past years this region has enjoyed a mild and temperate climate during the winter months which many visitors have appreciated, escaping the colder, harsher temperatures at home. It does get a little chilly at night however, so don’t forget your jumpers! The weather is perfect for getting out and about and enjoying all that the Algarve has to offer and many typical attractions such as boat trips out to sea are still available during the winter months. While you may not be able to lie out on the beach in a bikini, certainly exploring the beautiful coastal areas is something you can do in the Algarve at any time of year.
