About Loulé
Algarve's largest municipality, Loulé, is a tale of two halves. Along the coast, you'll find Portugal's foremost holiday resorts – buzzy Albufeira and the more laidback Quarteira – loved for their sweeping shores hugged by dramatic red sandstone sea cliffs and endless sunshine. If you're after somewhere a little more exclusive, the seafront resorts of Quinta do Lago, Vilamoura, and Vale do Lobo – famed for their world-class golf courses...
