This week we’re in the Algarve, in the South of Portugal, with Melissa Puebla who works at the luxury Vila Vita Parc Hotel & Resort. Having lived all over Europe, Melissa praises the Algarve for being safe, friendly and fun. With no downsides to low season travel, Melissa talks us through National Parks, historic tours, hidden beaches and seasonal festivals. Sit back and enjoy as self-confessed foodie Melissa transports us to the Algarve, with the smell of fresh coffee, the sound of native birds and views of the sea.
