At the heart of the Algarve, just to the east of Vilamoura, you'll find this perfectly located parc, just 600 metres from Portugal's stunning beaches.

Make no mistake - the beaches of the Algarve are every bit as alluring as you'd imagined, and Quarteira allows you to stroll easily between your holiday park, with its sparkling pool and trim grounds dotted with comfortable bungalows, and the stylish resort of Quarteira complete with bars, bistros and, of course, that wonderful beach.

Portugal's Algarve is full of life in high season but, with good year round weather, Quarteira makes an attractive winter bolt-hole for those seeking some warmth to see them through until summer.

At the Algarve's peaceful western edge the living is easy.

Handsome towns and fishing villages punctuate a coastline indented with cliffs and coves, each more inviting than the next.

Valverde enjoys a prime spot along this less trodden route and provides a relaxing base from which to explore the beautiful sun drenched coastline.

Away from the busier resorts of the Algarve, the western coast of Portugal is a dramatic and exhilarating destination.

With crashing waves and peaceful villages, western Portugal is a place where you can be fully relaxed and fully alive at the same time - enjoying real Portuguese hospitality, and great food.

The peaceful parc of San Pedro de Moel captures the spirit of the west perfectly.
