We headed to Ibiza during the off-season to experience the ‘other side’ of the island. Walking, biking, beaching and swimming were our main activities each day, and Ibiza is a beautiful spot for all of those. If you’ve ever wondered what 'the other side' of Ibiza is like, this one's for you.

We mention a delish pizza place we can't remember the name of and a few other things. All the details on our blog - https://charlieontravel.com/ibiza

Carvoeiro in Portugal’s Algarve region is a beach town with easy access to hiking, kayaking and day trips 🏖️ Whilst Carvoeiro was once a fishing village, it’s now very much a resort town. The town remains picturesque, nestled between dramatic cliffs and with the shimmering Atlantic Ocean extending as far as the eye can see. The town is beautifully white-washed though inside town you’ll find a plethora of Superbock branded bars, burger joints, and more Brits abroad than Portuguese locals. That said, we found the holidaymakers here to be a friendly mix of families, couples, retirees and only the odd stag/hen.

In this voice note, I have a real hidden gem to share with you 💎

Burgau is a beautiful beach town in the Algarve region of Portugal. In an area renowned for its resorts and high levels of tourism in the summer, Burgau really gave me that 'ahhh' feeling when I arrived. I was in love: a soft sand beach, sea as flat as a pancake, winding cobbled streets, white-painted fisherman's cottages with blue shutters and a just a few good restaurants. At just an hour's drive from Faro airport, it's a short and sweet trip for UK travellers and the perfect beach village getaway.
