just booked very last minute flights to the Algarve for this week & now need to find the right area for a self catering place to stay.  We like places in  less touristy areas & relatively unspoilt towns/villages/ beaches  - if anyone has any suggestions  would be great.

Thanks!

I went there many years ago and it had long since been past its best as an idyllic spot.  But perhaps out of season you will find something peaceful away from the golf courses and British bars.  Others may be less cynical!

If you get a car and go up to the Alentejo there are some wonderful hill towns, but nicer in the spring when the meadows are in flower.

    • That's a great solution, but not really practical for a second floor windowsill! I tried many things, spiky wires sticking out to deter them from landing, the widest cage available (pictured), but they would still descend, scaring off all the small songbirds, cram their heads through the cage and devour all the food. I was metaphorically tearing my hair out so, combined with the worries about spreading disease, I had to call it a day. Very sad.
    • Plus it is pure hypocrisy from the council, who pontificate about cleaner, greener, spaces, but then throw that out of the window for a bit of cash from a disruptive event.  I will raise this with them. I will point out to them that whether their event takes place or not is of as little consequence too 😉 Because they are public servants paid for by our taxes. It's the whole reason FOI exists. We have a right to know certain things.
