The Algarve is a huge golfing destination, with over 30 courses. And, since the 1960s, the region has been a magnet for British tourists and retirees, drawn by the year-round good weather —there are 300 days of sunshine— beaches, good transport connections and lower cost of living.
A study earlier this year by Retirement Solutions found that 591 Brits move to Portugal to retire each month, making it one of the most popular overseas destinations for pensioners.
