Algarve, Portugal


Although Portugal trails most western European countries in openness about homosexuality, recent legislation, followed by the inclusion of gay issues in films and on TV, is starting to increase its acceptability, notably in Lisbon and Porto. Not that this was ever much of an issue for the many men who take a quick holiday from the family on the busy beaches to seek out foreign male company in the Algarve's endless dunes.
Idyllic Algarve towns such as Tavira, Lagoa and Albufeira are starting to respond to the demand and develop a friendly scene for gay visitors. If all else fails, countless golf courses always offer an opportunity to give those pink clam-diggers an airing.
