Why October Is a Great Time to Visit the Algarve

October is an attractive month to visit Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and the surrounding Golden Triangle.

The Algarve generally enjoys milder autumn temperatures than northern Europe, making it ideal for outdoor activities, golf, walking, cycling and relaxed dining.

With the summer crowds having departed, October also provides an opportunity to enjoy the area's beaches, restaurants and leisure facilities at a more leisurely pace.

For families visiting during the October school holidays, Halloween events add another dimension to an autumn holiday in the Algarve.
