5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful little guide! 5 Sep 2011

By SM

Amazon Verified Purchase

We used this guide book during our 10 day holiday in the Algarve. We hired a car for 3 days and the information in the book helped to plan our adventures and get about. It has brief but informative section on different places to visit in the region and also info. on places to eat/ things to see/ etc. We didn't use it for accommodation, so I couldn't comment on how helpful it is for finding places to stay, but the places they suggested for food were often really good. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone visiting the Algarve.

Another great publication from Rough Guide. I find these guides extremely helpful to decide which sites / places to visit and which ones to skip. Very useful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but a bit of a lightweight

I can usually spend quite a time reading these types of books, but this one just didn't seem to have the same sort of 'meat' as I have found in other books. Read more
