Activities

What Should We Do?

The Algarve is a place very close to our hearts. It's where we had our first holiday, where we got engaged, and is a second home to the Kerr family, who have been going on holidays there for the last 2 decades. For those of you making a wider holiday out of the trip, we've added our favourite activities, restaurants, and vineyards. If you want any more recommendations, just ask us. We hope you love the Algarve as much as we do!
