You'll sail on a boat that's decked out with a bar and a lounge, plus it has free Wi-Fi – perfect for uploading those pretty sunset pics to social media. But sunset isn't the only thing you'll get a good look at while you're out and about, since your sailing takes you past beaches, rock formations and hidden coves.The Algarve looks good regardless of what time of day you see it, but sunset is something else here.
