Holidays in Gale

Holidays in Gale are all about chilling out on the beach and eating freshly grilled fish under the stars. It all feels a million miles away from the Algarve's more energetic beach resorts, though Albufeira is only a few kilometres along the road. This is a friendly and unpretentious village, equipped with just enough cafes, bars and restaurants to ring the changes, but not too many to change the mood. A large supermarket with deli and bakery will keep those on a self catering holiday in Gale well provided for.

Of course, the beach is the big attraction here. And who wouldn't be attracted to 5 kilometres of golden sand with rocks, coves and clifftop walks? The watersports are great, and when you come in hungry from the waves, there are beachside restaurants where you can quench your thirst and order a plate of sizzling sardines. If you were thinking more about reading a good book, then space and time to yourself are in generous supply here.

If you're booking a late deal to Gale, and want to know if it will make a good base, then the answer has to be yes! For families, Zoomarine and the Slide and Splash waterpark are just up the road, and golfers will have a choice of courses within an easy drive. Nightlife? No problem – Albufeira has enough dance till dawn bars for the brightest of night owls.
