The following images are from a recent trip to the Algarve, southern Portugal. Six old school friends and I embarked on your standard ‘lads holiday’, a British pastime of which I hadn’t experienced for a whole 15 years.
Days were spent relaxing by the pool of the enormous and ostentatious villa we had rented, or sauntering about our base town of Albufeira (trashy/ touristy), Lagos (classy/ not so touristy) and provincial capital Faro (traditional/ surprisingly not at all touristy).
Nights were lost to (pricey) alchohol-soaked bar hopping on the infamous ‘Strip’, and mornings were spent (partly) recollecting the previous night’s debauchery, and how on earth we made it back to (the apparently notorious) Casa Santa Therese…who every taxi driver in town seemed to know of.
Good times.
