Lagos
Lagos oozes life. A vibrant, sunny town, its pretty cobbled streets bristle with cafes, restaurants and bars. It's a magnet for backpackers and surf dudes, who swing between its clubs and nearby sweeping beaches and striking coastal coves. Lagos also has historical clout, having launched many naval excursions during Portugal's Age of Discoveries.

Monchique
A fiercely beautiful, lilting landscape surrounds this small, bustling hill town in the forested Serra de Monchique, Algarve's mountain range. It's a crisp-aired contrast to the coast, and a great region for biking, walking or horse riding. If you're not feeling energetic, there's a spa hidden in woodland and a wonderful private zoo for endangered species.

Tavira
The Rio Gilão runs through Tavira's centre, reflecting elegant houses and inspiring tourist brochures to call it the Venice of the Algarve. Topped by castle ruins and packed with 16th- to 18th-century buildings and 37 churches, Tavira is the Algarve's most genteel town. It's 3km (1.8mi) from the coast, and near beautiful, unspoilt beaches on Ilha de Tavira.
