Depending on the height from which you decide to jump, the duration of the freefall changes. If you jump from 10,000 ft, for example, the <strong>freefall will be about 30 seconds<\/strong>. If you decide to jump 12,000 ft, however, the freefall will be about 10 seconds longer.<\/p>\n<p>The places you can skydive from in the Algarve are <strong>Avor<\/strong> and <strong>Portim\u00e3o<\/strong>. From both of these locations you will be able to admire the beautiful Portuguese coast. Moreover, the skydiving providers in the Algarve want their customers to have a happy and carefree time on the day of the jump.

In fact, the Algarve is one of the <strong>best spots in Europe<\/strong> for <strong>beginners<\/strong>, <strong>intermediates<\/strong> and <strong>advanced surfers<\/strong>. A place as versatile as this is not easy to find elsewhere. As it covers both the south and west coasts, it is always suitable for year-round surfing. Depending on the wind and peoples\u2019 ability, the <strong>providers take their students<\/strong> either to the <strong>south coast<\/strong> or the <strong>west coast<\/strong>, always ensuring the best possible conditions. Group lessons often last all day long and, in some cases,<strong> lunch is included in the price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Competitiveness<\/strong> between surf schools is very high, which guarantees excellent quality. Furthermore every surf school tries to stand out in one way or another. <strong>Arrifana Surf School<\/strong>, for example, is the only fixed surf station on the <strong>wonderful beach of Arrifana<\/strong>.

The<strong> south coast<\/strong> of the Algarve is the ideal place to take a boat trip.

The Benagil Cave is an unmissable place if you are on holiday in the Algarve. This cave creates a sort of <strong>private beach<\/strong>. The entrance is through the <strong>two arches<\/strong> that overlook the sea and which, together with the<strong> large round hole at the top<\/strong>, create truly <strong>magical shades of light<\/strong>. The Benagil Cave is a distinctive symbol of the Algarve, photographed and loved by all tourists.
