With summer coming to an end, there are many who feel unmotivated to book a vacation or even visit the region. However, we are going to tell you a secret, which many are unaware of: The Algarve is even more beautiful at this time of year.

That said, let's get to what matters, and what is necessary to sustain the confidence just made.

Let's see, at this time you can enjoy the calm and iconic beauty that surround it, something that, unfortunately, due to the affluence characteristic of the high season is not possible.

The climate will always be in your favor, as we are located in the south of Portugal , the winters are not as severe as in other parts of the country.

THE RIA FORMOSA

With over 60km of natural beauty, Ria Formosa is one of the most sublime natural parks in Portugal.

You can visit it by boat without the hustle and bustle characteristic of high season, which will give you a 360º view under it, considering that it is the longest and most complete tour.

However, visiting it on foot is also an option, and our advice is to take a lunch box and take the opportunity to reconnect with the environment and observe the beautiful birds that inhabit it.

SAGRES

It is located in one of the most beautiful areas of the country, it is iconic due to its historical representation, but it is in the landscapes and gastronomy that you will find the greatest charms.

Sunsets like you've never seen combined with the best seafood and fish you've ever tasted.

However, it doesn't end there, considering that this specific area is the best in the region for surfing or stand up paddle, options and schools abound, and we guarantee: it's an experience you won't want to miss!

TRAILS BY THE SEA AND BY THE MOUNTAINS

Due to the extremely high temperatures that had been felt in the previous months, it was difficult to explore the wonderful trails that are available to you.

The perfect time is now and we are delighted to share with you what we consider to be the best options.

Via Algarviana has more than 800km of routes for different levels of fitness and interests, over the sea and the mountains, there is much to explore!

In addition, Lavrar o Mar will organize its famous art walks in Monchique and Aljezur until the 2nd of October, bringing iconic names in literature, media, cinema and theater to the region.

EVENTS AT AIA AND KIA

As usual, the month of October brings the best of motorsports to Portimão, a tradition that, fortunately, is no exception this year.

Between the 7th and 9th of October, the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve , will once again give the green light to one of the most challenging championships on two wheels: The Superbike World Championship.

The following weekend, the track will be occupied by one of the main endurance motorsport competitions: the European Le Mans Series, in a four-hour race, where teams, cars and drivers are tested to the limits.

The Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve , located in the same complex as the AIA, will host the Portuguese Rotax Championship between the 22nd and 23rd of October, and promises a lot of adrenaline and excitement, not only for competitors, but also for spectators.
