Further Details:
The climate is mild and mellow and so is the character of the land and its people. Spring, with its profusion of wildflowers, comes very early. Summers are long; winters are short. The air is free of pollution and light breezes prevent even the hottest midsummer days from becoming oppressive. The Algarvian lifestyle is easy-going, fatalistic and unfettered by concern for time.
The Algarve's healthy climate, pure air are nicely complemented by wholesome, locally-caught and home-grown food.
In particular, there is a wonderfully wide range of seafood, including all sorts of clams, prawns and lobster, and delicious fresh fish such as halibat, swordfish, tuna, sea bass and sea bream.
Eating out in the restaurants of Santa Luzia is all the more delightful because Portuguese wines are so good and so reasonably priced.
We have a number of excellent markets nearby (a detailed list will be in the apartment) where you can pick up some real bargains.
There is an interesting car-boot near the beach of Fuzeta where you will find some unusual items. Ayamonte, 20 mins (the Spanish border) town has a similar market every Saturday.
Tourist resort towns with entertainment, bars, restaurants and casinos only a 10 - 40 minute drive away (depending which town you would like to visit).
Finally, For those of you who do not want to just stay on the beach and want to see more of the original Algarve then a circular drive through Moncarapacho, Estói, Olhão and Tavira is well worth doing, with the A22 link this makes a good half day visit.
Other activities
There is a local Rent-A-Bike along the front which is reasonably priced.

Guestbook
Another perfect holiday
We have stayed twice now at Brian and Christine's apartment and will definitely come again. It's a lovely apartment in a superb location and is fantastic value for money. You can sit up in bed in the morning and drink your cup of tea while watching the boats arrive back after a night's fishing, have your breakfast on the balcony and watch the ferry go over to the beach, then get ready to go out when you see the ferry coming back - what could be more convenient!
We hired a car for a few days to do a bit of sightseeing but you really don't need one. You can get a taxi from Faro airport for about 30 euros (we used Ziptransfer, who were very good) and Santa Luzia has everything you need - there are several little supermarkets that are reasonably priced, lots of good restaurants (our favourite is O Chico), and a regular bus service into Tavira, which is also an interesting town.
Great holiday at Santa Luzia.
This is are second stay at Brian and Christines 2nd floor apartment, and not are last (already booked again).
This apartment has everything you would need for prefect holiday in a prefect location. Bed linen and towels changed weekly, apartment spotlessly clean.
We come here without a car (taxi from airport approx, 40 euros).
Beautiful views from balcony and 360 Degree views from roof terrace.
Lots of local bars and restaurants and more in Tavira.
Walks or ferries to brilliant endless beaches.
Brian and Christine make us very welcome and are a phone away if needed.
