The area between Quinta do Lago, Almancil and Vale do Lobo is referred to as the 'Golden Triangle'. Vale do Lobo is a very popular holiday destination for families and couples alike and definitely great fun for celebrity spotting. Vale do Lobo is world famous and the famous like to be seen there - you never know who you will be dining beside each night - enjoying the free live nightly entertainment in the Praca, Vale do Lobo. In Vale do Lobo and Quinta Do Lago there are numerous facilities - restaurants, cafes, bars, nightclub, spa, pools, gymnasiums, golf, mini golf, tennis, newsagent, shops, bank, car rental, wine shop, cash machines, numerous water sports, hairdresser and beauty salons. Everything is available so you never have to leave the resort! The rich and famous have been flocking to Vale do Lobo for over 40 years. The resort is very popular with the tennis circuit set, John McEnroe and Pat Cash are regulars. Golfers (professionals and us mere mortals), the England football team and English Premiership Clubs are regularly seen training here. England's No.1 skier Chemmy Alcott, England national cricket team captain "Freddie" Flintoff, jazz legend George Benson and Manchester United footballer Christian Ronaldo have all been spotted in Vale do Lobo in recent months. Keep a look out for the foot ball boys Teddy Sherringham and Alan Shearer - they are a bit of a double act. Peter Jones from Dragon's Den owns a house in Vale Do Lobo. |

| Almancil area | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Faro town is a 15 minute drive there is a large shopping centre that offers good facilities. Most tours offer a pickup/drop off bus service from VdL to the attractions. Options include horse riding, fishing, yachting/sailing, shark, dolphin watching, 4x4 safari tours & Cultural visits. In Almancil there is a karting track if you need to burn off that adrenalin..... There is also an Aqua Park 10 mins drive on the other side of Quateria) and a Swim With Dolphin experience and Theme Park (30 mins drive on the Motorway). In the apartment is a well stocked folder with all the details of the attractions so you can read at leisure and book you choices. In Almancil (5 min drive) is a beautiful church with wonderful mosiacs that is open to the public. Quarteria (5 min drive) has a very impressive farmers market that is well worth visiting (oh and testing out the produce !!). Both of these attractions you can walk to usually in about an hour if you are feeling energetic......otherwise I have a folder with telephone numbers of local taxi services if you do not wish to drive. |

Many airlines including BA, Easyjet and Monarch all run a good schedule of flights to Faro. I recommend a website www.skyscanner.net to see the best price for your flights, it is a very easy and compact site that loads up all airlines departing from your airport of choice with the times and most importantly the COST !! |
