Some of these posters are confusing parts that are not the algarve. I don't know how you could say it was trashy. We stayed at pine cliffs and it was spectacular.

I have read that Albufeira, which is in the Algarve, is trashy, but this is the first time I've read the term applied to Lagos. We'll be there in early July, guess we'll see.

Albufeira/Alvor and Lagos are over run by European tourists.

Yeah, I mean, we're all tourists when we go to Europe, so, get over yourself. We enjoyed the Algarve. It's beautiful. It's not off the beaten path, and that's fine.

Well it is in Europe, and is a tourist destination.

yes but when one goes to Portugal, one is not expecting to see mostly drunk Brits and Germans.

Would drunk Portuguese or drunk Spaniards or drunk Americans be an improvement?
