For those of you who were in the Algarve at Christmas in 2010, many towns had fantastic
displays of Christmas lights. Here is a selection of Christmas lights from Olhão,
Tavira and a few from the Faro shopping mall. As soon as the lights are turned on
again this year, we shall add a few more photos for those of you who will not be
able to experience them first-
Christmas in the Algarve. The Christmas lights are just another good reason to hop on a flight and see for yourself... You might also find it just a little bit warmer !... Compare the weather in Europe
