Hire a car
Portugal has an excellent highway system linking the major towns of the algarve region, and reasonable roads linking other smaller towns. It is reasonably sign posted, but at times it can be frustrating if you miss a turn off as the next opportunity to change direction can be some 30 kms down the road. Once inside the smaller towns the roads are extremely narrow and confusing, but it does add to the fun of travelling through Portugal so give it a go, just be prepared to go slow and get lost every so often.we used the website Easycar.com to find a cheap deal in Portugal. We ended up with a brand new car for about 50 pounds for 5 days from Budget cars (courtesy of the easycar.com) well worth it!
