Additionally, expats should be aware that the Algarve is a tourist destination, and the local economy is heavily reliant on the tourism industry.

"I would come here in the summer before you move. It is over flooded with tourists. I live in Albufeira and travel in the summer. While Albufeira has a reputation as a party town, it is limited to two areas. The quality of life is very high, it empties out quite a bit in the winter but plenty is left open," said another expat in The Algarve, Portugal.
