| At 22km west of Faro, Quarteira is renowned for its seemingly endless stretch of glorious sandy beach. As one of the Algarve’s busiest resort towns there are plenty of places to eat and drink, plenty of live music and nightlife, and good selection of high street shops. |

| There is a very popular market every Wednesday morning. The town really comes to life in the summer and there are train rides on a small gage railway to nearby Vilamoura Marina – very popular with children. |
