One of the best places for vacations spent shopping is Portugal's Algarve. Most villages and towns are filled with souvenir shops and local craft stores selling typical Portuguese wares.

Cork, one of Portugal's natural resources, is crafted into stylish shoes as well as many useful household items. You can find the very popular cork coasters as well as wine holders, hats, wallets, and even ties. Another favorite of tourists is embroidered work made by the old women and sold at the markets. While some of them produce high quality work, much of it is for day-to-day use rather than fancy display cloths.

The cataplana dish is symbolic of the Algarve: a copper cooking pot with lid shaped like a wok. It is used primarily for cooking stews and can be found more in the larger tourist areas than in the small villages.

There are also two large shopping centers in the Algarve, Forum Algarve, which is near faro, and Algarve Shopping, which is in Guia near Albufeira. If you are looking for clothes, these two places are where you should visit.

Bowen Island, BC. The perfect place to stay

Bowen Island, BC. The perfect place to stay
© Adam Jones, Ph.D.

One of my favorite holiday destinations is beautiful Bowen Island, BC, Canada. Just a short hop from the Vancouver mainland on a small car ferry, Bowen Island sits in the picturesque Howe Sound.

With the Sea- to-Sky view of the Sound and the North Shore Mountains on one side, the aptly named Sunshine Coast on another and in the distance Vancouver Island in one direction and the U.S. in the other, there couldn't be a more perfect spot for a getaway.

There is no camping on Bowen Island but there are many bed and breakfast establishments to suit all budgets. I have stayed at South Pointe Cottages on several occasions and they are luxurious and secluded. The resident chefs bring a spectacular gourmet breakfast to your door, and, if you arrange in advance you can even get a gourmet dinner.

The island has many walking trails, a golf course, marina, artists, potters, writers, and spectacular gardens - including South Pointe Cottages' garden, as well as an art gallery and theatre. There is so much to do if you want to be immersed in island life during your stay, or, you can relax by the pool next to your cottage. With the bird song to wake you up in the morning and the star filled sky to overlook your sleep, I can't think of a more peaceful place to visit.
