Budget & TipsEveryone in Portugal agrees that the Algarve is an expensive region, due to the high number of tourists in summer, especially foreigners. But this cliché is not without its disparities, and there's always a way to find a cheap place to eat. A coffee in a simple cafeteria will cost you €1, while in the luxury establishments on the coast it can cost up to €3.
What's very localIn addition to the many cafés on offer, the Algarve boasts two iconic cafés that are a must-see for their history and elegance: Café Calcinha in Loulé and Café Aliança in Faro. Soak up the melancholy ambience of these cozy cafés while enjoying a bica (espresso) accompanied by a sweet local delicacy.
