I cannot compliment Michael and Pedro highly enough. We have bought a number of pieces for our home in the Algarve and they have artists to suit multiple styles and budgets. Recently I even commissioned a piece for a friends special birthday and they made it hassle free and shipped directly to her in the uk. They went above and beyond to make it get there quickly and it’s perfect. Well worth a little adventure into the countryside. Thank you guys- we will be back again!

I completed several courses with Learn2Sail. The lead instructor was very skilled in sailing and boat handling, coupled with a great ability to share his knowledge. I was very happy with Learn2Sail and would definitely recommend learning with them.

A long and beautiful beach flanked by spectacular cliffs, it sure makes for a great walk...at the end (or the beginning, depending on your starting point) there's also a viewpoint, accessible by wooden steps, simply amazing!

There are two nice beaches in Guia, Laurenco and Gale. Laurenco has beautiful cliffs but little parking and this year the water was high so you couldn’t really stay on the beach most days. Gale on the other hand is much more developed, with more parking and a restaurant. Access is easy to the beach with few steps but you can walk to the east along the beach and get some shelter in beautiful cliffs.

Small beach, hidden behind the hills, just outside Albufeira. Hard to get without car. Small, great soft sand, and some interesting rock cliffs. Couple arches, visible at low tide, and nice panoramic view from the top.
