Spring in the Algarve
When the hillsides bloom and the crowds stay home. Discover why locals consider March-May the perfect season.
6 Reasons to Visit in Spring
Wildflower Season
March-May transforms the hillsides. Orchids, poppies, and lavender carpet the countryside. The almond blossoms (Feb-Mar) are legendary.
Perfect Weather
Average 20°C with 10+ hours of sunshine. Warm enough for beaches, cool enough for hiking. No summer crowds.
Golf Paradise
Peak golf season. World-class courses in perfect condition. Major tournaments and better green fee value than summer.
Birdwatching Peak
Spring migration brings rare species through Sagres and Ria Formosa. Flamingos, storks, and raptors abound.
Empty Beaches
Have Praia da Marinha to yourself. The sea is fresh (16-18°C) but beaches are pristine and uncrowded.
Trail Season
Seven Hanging Valleys, Monchique, and Fonte Benémola at their best. Rivers flowing, waterfalls active.
