Recharge in the Algarve, Portugal's Riviera

+The Road
No visit to Portugal is complete without some R&R in the Algarve of Portugal, the country's beachy paradise. We ventured south and east towards the town of Sagres where cliffs dive into the ocean below and ended up in Albufeira, one of the livelier beachside towns in the region. Along the way we feasted on fresh seafood and recharged on the scenic beaches of the region.
