Algarve in Spring

My wife, 13-year old daughter and I are planning to spend some time in the Algarve in late March / early April. Thoughts on best town as a home base?

We will arrive on a Saturday afternoon and leave (going back to Lisbon) on Wednesday morning. We will have a car. We understand it won’t be warm enough to swim. We are open to small towns but are unsure if some will be too sleepy at that time of year. Would like to be able to walk to bars and restaurants in the evening.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Lagos is my favorite. It’s somewhat center so you can drive to Sagres, if you want or east toward Tavira. It has a walkable downtown, nice beaches and the spectacular rock formations at Ponte de Piadade.
