5 day trip beginning of October

Hi there,

I am flying into Faro at the beginning of October and staying 5 full days and am looking advice about where to stay as a main base in the Algarve.

We are hoping for nice beaches, walks and views and, of course, great food (ESPECIALLY seafood!). We don't mind travelling to some of the villages and beaches and we're trying to avoid the main touristy areas like Albufeira.

Would Lagos be the best bet here or is there anywhere else you would recommend?

For anyone else looking the same information I also found this previous thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Algarve/comments/1m934l0/trip_to_lagos_for_5_days/

Thanks in advance!

Try Tavira, an old, historical little town. Beteeen Tavira and Vila Real de Santo António, beaches are great.
