Last Monday was my last day at Algarve, unfortunately my vacations are almost ending. The few days that are left will be spent in my hometown.

Like I’ve planned I went to Albufeira and Alvor, unfortunately I didn’t had time to visit Lagos which is a really nice place to visit, with great beaches, night activities and restaurants.

Although I didn’t planned I’ve also visited Portimão and Armação de Pêra which are also great places.

In these trips I’ve visited two touristic attractions that are worth to talk about.

In the past Saturday I went to Fiesa which is a sand sculpture festival, this year the theme is related with Hollywood. There you can find your favorite characters, such as: Spiderman, Batman, Silver Surfer, Wonder Woman, Hulk, Freddy Kruger, The Simpsons, The Muppets, etc.

If you have the opportunity to go there don’t hesitate, the ticket is a bit expensive but I really think it compensates.

You still have a lot of time to visit it since the festival will be running till October 22nd.

The second touristic attraction was Slide & Splash, it was my second time there. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s Water Slide Park, there you can have a different day with a lot of pool related activities, the only turn off is the waiting lines that are a bit long.

And that was it, my vacations were short and I didn’t rest like I wanted to, but I had fun, and that’s what matters.

One note that I will keep in mind in my next vacations: Do not travel with your GPS with an outdated software, sometimes it is not 100% reliable and makes you perform 30km instead of 5km.

This year I will be somewhere around Algarve or Allgarve if you prefer, probably in one of these three places, Albufeira, Alvor or Lagos these are my favorite places to spend vacations in Portugal.

They are near the beach and they also have great night activities.

Hope to get some rest because there is almost a new year starting with lots of new as ideas, projects and challenges.

I’ll be back in a couple of days, see you soon!
