Car Class Recommendations
Given the hilly terrain of parts of Armação de Pêra, a mid-size car is recommended. It's important to make sure your car has enough grunt to tackle the hilly peaks characteristic of Algarve's landscape but still small enough to comfortably maneuver through the narrow village streets. Consider a convertible for a sun-filled experience.
Mobility and Driving Tips
Driving in Portugal is on the right-hand side. The speed limit in cities is 50 km/h, outside cities 90 km/h, and on highways it is usually 120 km/h. Knowing a bit of Portuguese can be useful; however, most signs are internationally standardized. It's also important to note that Portugal has toll roads. All rental cars would be equipped with automatic toll devices to facilitate easy movement.
