Quarteira Apartments Accommodate Sea, Sand and Sun Worshippers

The rows of apartments in Quarteira that line this Portugese town's long, lovely beach are a draw for tourists that are true lovers of sea, sand and sun. Quarteira, long a refuge of beachfront and ocean that was settled perhaps as long ago as 504 B.C., has emerged as a leading European holiday destination. The reason why a relatively quiet, backwater fishing village should have morphed into the bustling tourist hotspot it is today? The beauty and abundance of the beach and ocean that made the Quarteira strip a backbone of the Algarve's ancient fishing industry make Quarteira a staple of Portugal's Algarve tourist industry that draws visitors from all over Portugal, Europe and beyond to its long stretch of uninterrupted sand and surf.

Since the tourist boom Portugal's Algarve district has enjoyed began in the 1960's Quarteira, with the beauty and comfort of its beach and beachfront promenade, has emerged as a leading destination for the beach trade clientele who long for the respite of sun and sand. Rental apartments and hotels line the long promenade bringing tourists from near and far to the welcome climes of the Algarve coast. The old town is absorbed by the thriving tourist amenities, yet just inland ageless villages preserve the old Algarve ways of life while state-of-the-art, world-class golf courses are nearby and the whole Quarteira experience is just 20 minutes from the international air terminal in Faro.

Quateira apartments or rental villas provide an even more relaxed sun-holiday for dedicated beachgoers than nearby Algarve tourist mecca's like Vilamoura, yet all the non-beach tourist draws on the Algarve coast and inland are easily within reach of daytrippers on those rare days when the weather precludes sea and sun worshippers from enjoying the Quarteira beach.
