Welcome to Algarve!

My name is Linn Haglund and I’m Amused by Algarve!

I’m here to help you discover the best of Algarve through curated guides, itineraries, and travel tips so that you can confidently explore Portugal’s most amazing region independently!

After living 10 years in the Iberian peninsula, I’ve spent a whole lot of time in the Portuguese Algarve region and every time I go, it amuses me how new places reveal themselves.

Are you ready to explore Algarve with me?
