Located in Praia da Luz at the top of Rua 25 Abril at the junction with the road to Burgau, St James Apartments are only 5 minutes walk to the beach and restaurants. The small supermarket, the first pool, separate pool and play area for children and sun terrace area is now open. The fifth and final block is under construction with building work scheduled for completion by July. Construction of two further pools with some landscaping will take place in the autumn with full project completion by the end of 2006. Fantastic prices are available this season as building work nears completion.

In this month's article we will be taking a look at a couple of recent wine tastings and events, involving a selection of Portuguese wines and foods, that we have presented to consumer groups in the UK. Hopefully this will whet your appetite for the enjoyment of Portuguese cuisine and wines on your next visit to the Algarve, or elsewhere. Maybe it will tempt you to consider your own Portuguese wine and dine event. Click here to see the fourth article in his series.
If it's fun, excitement and adventure you're looking for….then look no further! Take a jeep safari off the beaten track and straight into the heart of the Algarve. Click here for all the details.
Set in the heart of Lagos, this small and very modern restaurant could easily be overlooked as it sits quietly on a side road, tucked away around a corner. Click here to see Jackie and Tony's second restaurant report.
We strongly recommend that you have travel insurance but, of course, you do not have to take Algarve Retreats insurance but can choose any. However, we have some of the best rates in the business as our supplier, Travel and General, specialise in travel and not in car or home insurance.
