Despite Portugal's small size, the country is perfect for exploring on a family road trip. In the Algarve region, camping is an incredibly popular activity with motorhomes and campervans working their way through the area no matter the time of year.
And given that the Algarve has very little rain from April to October, camping is the perfect way to truly experience the beautiful coastal south of Portugal, where hanging cliffs along the coast or the mountains of Monchique offer many campsites to base your various excursions from.
Apart from good weather, also renowned are the golden sand beaches along 150km of pristine coastline that boast incredible rock formations chiselled out by millions of years of coastal abrasion.
Start your trip from Tavira, arguably Algarve's prettiest town with over 30 churches and famous sites. Sited along the banks of the Gilão River with rows of pretty houses that is a precious blend of Portuguese traditions and Arab influences lining narrow cobbled streets, you can walk to places like the Roman bridge, the ruins of the 11th Century Tavira castle, and Igreja da Misericórdia a church that was once a mosque, which explains its mix of Gothic, Manueline, and Baroque architecture styles.
Another attraction of Tavira is its tower. An old water reserve transformed into a dark room where panoramic views of the city are projected. It is also strongly advised that you visit the bustling morning market, the best place to experience Portuguese daily life. Tavira has a spectacular coastline of beaches located on sandy islands.
The closest beach to Tavira is Praia de Tavira. It is a heavenly place, connected to the city by a ferry leaving from the port. The shores of the island are ideal for walking and for a family holiday in Portugal, with its calm and welcoming atmosphere.
