algarve in aug? or stay north? Jump to bottom Posted by alpa (east meadow, ny, usa) on 08/05/11 10:52 AM i'm going to portugal in aug. for 6 days. RS strongly recommends the algarve. but i've heard it v hot and crowded. should i skip the algarve and stick to evora (and surrounds), nazare area, douro/porto instead?
