Whats it like to stay in The Algarve in the winter, is it safe and is it warm. Join us as we share our knowledge we have learned over three years of travel to The Algarve Portugal.
Being off season it's quiet in The Algarve, the crowds don't start coming until summer months. There are more retired people staying here over the winter months from Northern Europe the U.K, Ireland and North America. With it being winter half the restaurants close but there are still many open where you can enjoy the tasty Portuguese food.
Portugal is one of the safest countries in Europe but you should still be aware of the possibilities of petty crime, we luckily have never experienced it. Portugal is also more affordable for food and they do produce a wide range of great quality food, making it a smart economical choice for a long stay winter break.

Rental car prices in The Algarve have gone through the roof so don't be surprised when you try and book something

@@ThisIsOurRetirement in the summer we go for a month and take the car on the ferry to Northern Spain and then drive down. We’ve recently used Luzcar who have an office in Lagos but will meet you at Faro. Cars are generally older with a few scrapes but I’d give them 5* for service and reliability

I was sincerely impressed by your GREAT advice about accessing local currency. 1) Bring destination cash for about 1-2 days. 2) At destination, withdrawal local cash from ATM, using your domestic card. In fact, credit card conversion rates are often more competitive than debit card rates. Some credit card programs even offer "no fees for currency conversion". 3) Decline all invitations to "pre-convert" your transaction to CAD. As a former banker, that was always my advice to travellers.

Unfortunately the flight situation from Seattle is not ideal, but we will continue to research. Most of the other videos I've found are shot during the high season, which looks much too expensive, crowded, and lively for our tastes. Thanks for showing us what it is like in the winter. Keep up the great videos. I look forward to them every week.

Hi Heidi, if you’ll be renting a car when in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland you might want to book before you set off from home (if you haven’t already done so). Apparently rentals are in very short supply this year, especially in Newfoundland. Enjoy your vacation!!

thank you for walking us through the options, love your videos! Another option for Euros and paying for things is the AC Conversion card through CIBC - it's a pre-paid debit card you can load different funds, including the Euro, and use it like a debit card on your trip so you don't need to go to the bank or carry cash! It's simple to purchase your foreign funds online to load the card anytime (like now when it's low). Any amount remaining on the card you keep until your next trip!

Thanks Paul that sounds like a great option we will check it out, someone also said a prepaid visa from CIBC. Thanks for watching.

Nice Norm and Tina that you are coming back to the old continent. Notice that most cars in Portugal have manual transmission which means that automatic cars are in short supply and therefore are more expensive to hire,. And secondly because of Corona the demand for rental cars is outpacing the supply of available vehicles, so rental car prices have increased. Going off saison may be extra beneficial this and next years. Positive is also that the Euro becomes cheaper, I noticed it meself living in Switzerland that has still its own currency, but it is also true for the Canadian and US dollar. Temperatures of 15-20 degrees are perfect for active outdoor life. It is nice to escape the cold Canadian winter and enjoy spring two times in a row

Yes Ronnie we know about the rental car transmission, we have included it previous videos but forgot to include it, thanks for reminding us. Portugal is nice because of the weather, history and food, bonus no crowds! Florida has become very expensive so it feels better coming to Portugal or Spain. Thanks for a great comment.

Happy Saturday Norm & Tina! So exciting that you’re heading back to Portugal for the winter months. Do you find you get much rain when you’re there at that time of the year? I don’t know if it’s appropriate for me to recommend an aparthotel and a tour company on your channel so if that’s ok, can you let me know, and I can share what worked for us when we were in Albufeira. If it’s not the done thing, totally understand. When we pack now we don’t even bother with basic personal care items - we do a shop when we arrive for toothpaste, deodorant etc which is kind of fun because you can try products from another country. Thanks for the great insights and happy travel planning to everyone. So fun to think of escaping the winter doldrums in Canada (although I’m glad I have Canada to come home to). Keep up the great work - Bon weekend.

Not entirely certain about Albufeira as a base. We were there last November and were a bit disappointed. We seemed to be for ever passing bars showing English football games on giant screens sometimes at full volume. We will be returning next January to Alvor which will be quieter, but is a really pretty place with a lovely beach. Otherwise, we like the marina complex at Vilamoura or a short walk away to stay in Quarteira. Also Praia da Rocha at Portimao would be a good base. Portimao itself is a reasonable sized town so will still be busy in winter. Olhao near Faro is also really nice. It's on the edge of a lagoon so has the most amazing seafood.

My vision for my retirement, in Aug 2020, was to travel 4 times a year for 4 weeks at a time to really get to know a bit better the place I was traveling to. My husband and I had always traveled, but it was a week at a time and sometimes 2 weeks. Since my husband passed away before I retired I wanted to delve into a bit more of visiting a place for a month instead of a week. Unfortunately, I fell off a ladder, 3 weeks after retiring while picking apples for the deer in my yard(they’re on their own for apples now!) and I’ve spent the last almost two years dealing with surgeries, recoveries and finally a knee replacement this past January. I love your channel and will watch how you do Portugal. I would love to visit there, it looks divine!

HI Norm and Tina. Thanks for another informative and optimistic video of all things Portuguese. As I stay in a house in Tavira for 3 months of winter( or more, hopefully in 2023) I was advised to explore Olhão in Eastern Algarve, just east of Faro. It's a different landscape to Western Algarve, has wonderful Saturday markets on the waterfront with the older part of town situated behind the seafront towards the hills. Just a suggestion of somewhere different. If you're going, might try to connect in person when I'm staying in Tavira next Jan- March 2023. Apparently extending Shengen visa to + 60 days from 90 limit is OK if you have booked an appointment at local SEF, after arriving at your residence in Portugal. If the date of appointment is AFTER the 90 days it's apparently no problem. SEF simply wants proof that you are willing to pay extension fee and patiently wait in line for the slow moving Portuguese bureaucracy! Admittedly staying this year from mid Jan- mid April, I felt as if I'd woken up from a deep sleep when I arrived. I was free to walk in the streets without boots and heavy coat, enjoy outdoor café culture and, as always, the kind sociability of the Portuguese people. These past two winters of lockdowns, snow storms and enforced hibernation seemed another world away. Boas viagens. Jane
