Driving Tips for the Algarve
The EN125 runs the length of the Algarve coast — it's the main road but can be slow in summer. Use the A22 (Via do Infante) for longer journeys.
The A22 motorway has electronic tolls — ensure your rental car has a transponder or pay online within 5 days.
Parking in Albufeira and Lagos town centres is very limited in July and August — arrive early or use park-and-ride.
The roads to the western Algarve beaches (Praia da Marinha, Benagil) are narrow — drive carefully.
Petrol stations are plentiful along the EN125 and A22 but less common inland.
Speed cameras are common on the EN125 — observe the 90 km/h limit.
