Hello,
I am gem and am currently doing all the leg work for my parents finding everything out for them as they are very keen to get a second home in the algarve.

They have given me the info and now i need your help!

We are looking for a fairly busy and active area to buy in the algarve, that is good ALL YEAR round with local amenities, some bars, etc

Must be within 40 mins of airport

Not in the middle of nowhere

Near the beach ( driving distance is fine)

Also somewhere we will get good value for money on a house.

Any advice greatly appreciated

Hello Gemchanel,
I suggest reading:

As these will give your parents an idea of what's going on where - and see what they are interested in.

Tavira is very popular with the over 60's. Has a decent train station so can get trains to other places of interest.

Good luck!

Gemchanel, with this budget, your parents will be able to find a nice place betwen Tavira and Lagoa. We are moving to Lagos which is lovely but further from the airport than you want. Just in case, look it up..... what we like about it is that it is not dependant on tourism only, it has got lots of things going on all year.
