Best cities to visit in Algarve

Vilamoura: A trendy and sophisticated part of the Algarve, staying in Vilamoura gives you access to not only an active little town, but also stunning sandy beaches. With great accommodation options, you are surrounded by enough hustle-and-bustle to eat, drink and be merry whilst being able to slip away and relax in the sun, enjoy nature or catch a round of golf at the local course.
Lagos: With cliffs, caves and rockier coastlines surrounding this town, Lagos is a natural scenic wonder. With a lively town filled with markets, shops, restaurants and bars, you can be guaranteed a great day or evening out. With four beaches to choose from in Lagos, each are surrounded by cliffs, yet sandy, pristine and idyllic.
Aljezur: A haven for nature lovers, the rugged coastal area of Aljezur is a laid-back, charming spot to stay. Based inside the Costa Vicentina Natural Park, its ecosystem and environment are under protection. Take in the scenery, go surfing or laze about the spectacular beachfronts by day while you sample fresh fish at the local restaurants at night. Away from the crowds and highly recommended.

After being let down by Goldcar at Seville Airport sixt stepped in and got us a car to get to Jerez late at night. The service was brilliant and the car perfect. The agent Francisco was very easy to deal with, had us out of there in less than 10 minutes with all our needs covered! Highly recommend

4.0

I hire a lot of cars and this is 5th time with Sixt, and have had quite a few problems, but to be honest they’re no better than the other rental companies … On this particular occasion in Seville: Firstly the on-line check in is a great idea but it doesn’t really work.. Their slogan .. ‘hire the car not a car’ is not really true .. we thought we’d booked a VW t-cross this time and of course they didn’t have one .. first car had no Satnav or CarPlay so changed it for another which did - the staff were really very helpful in managing this .. there was no queue so this helped a lot

5.0

Very nice experience, competent and available staff
