My Favourite Spots:

  • Cliffs and surfers on white sandy beach with waves

    Praia do Porto de Mós

    This is the best beach in Lagos for kids, especially if it’s low tide. At low tide you find perfect little pools to play in.

  • A plastic sack filled with freshly harvested carrots with green tops, resting on the ground.

    Vinha Velha

    This organic farm with 140 hectares of land is pure magic! You can either plan a day trip here or stay in one of the apartments for a few nights.

    Maxi's Warung

    We searched very long for a really good Pad Thai, but finally found this gem in Vale da Telha. There is also a little playground next door.

Olá, Bom Dia!

How nice that you stumbled across my little passion project :)

I am Malina! I traveled to the Algarve for the first time in 2021 and fell head over heels in love with this region.

After years of living between Germany and the Algarve, my husband, our two children and I finally made the move full-time and are now lucky enough to call the Algarve our home.

We are always on the lookout for the best spots for kids in the Algarve and I am so happy to share my favorite places with you on this blog and on Instagram!
