Grey skies happen, even here. Azulejo chapels, a convent museum and two covered markets to fill the afternoon.
When the Atlantic sends in a grey day, the Algarve still has plenty to offer. Here is how our team spends a rainy afternoon.
Tiles and churches
Look up and inside: blue-and-white azulejo panels cover chapels and old townhouses in Faro, Lagos and Tavira. The Igreja de Santo António in Lagos is a short, gilded stop.
Museums and markets
Faro's municipal museum sits in a former convent, and the covered markets in Loulé and Olhão are lively on Saturday mornings.
Ask our local team for a list of cafés with a fireplace near your stay.
