Guia is a charming village located in the Algarve region of Portugal, known for its picturesque streets, traditional white-washed houses, and delicious cuisine. The currency used in Guia is the Euro. The village is famous for being the birthplace of the famous dish 'Frango Piri-Piri', a spicy grilled chicken dish that is a must-try for visitors. Guia is also home to the Zoomarine water park, where visitors can enjoy dolphin shows and water rides.
The best time to visit Guia is during the spring and fall months when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summer can be quite hot and crowded with tourists, while winter can be rainy and cool. The shoulder seasons offer a perfect balance of good weather and fewer crowds.
Guia is a small village that can easily be explored on foot. However, if you want to explore the surrounding areas, renting a car is the best option. There are also local buses that connect Guia to nearby towns and beaches. Taxis are readily available for short trips within the village.
When visiting Guia, make sure to try the local specialty, Frango Piri-Piri, at one of the many restaurants in the village. Don't forget to visit the Zoomarine water park for a fun day out with the family. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as the streets in Guia can be hilly and uneven. It's a good idea to carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, especially during the hot summer months. Lastly, be respectful of the local customs and traditions, and always greet people with a friendly 'Bom dia' (good morning) or 'Boa tarde' (good afternoon).
