How is life in Algarve right now?

Philip Engstrom

Hello. I am planning on traveling to Algarve region and stay for a while; vacation, digital nomading (working remote) and doing yoga. I am just wondering how life is in Algarve currently when it comes to fellow nomads/ travelers and meetups. Is there a community active right now and how is the pandemic measurements/curfews right now?
Very thankful for replies. Much love
/Philip

Algarve is a large area.
Do you have a specific town for your question?
Present controls are much more relaxed than in past.
Indoors, supermarkets, public transport, malls etc require masks.
No real travel restrictions internally but that can change quickly.

Not more specific in general,  but lets limit to the towns of Lagos, Portimão, Praia da Rocha, Albufeira, Silves. Thanks for the reply. And when it comes to meeting people, is it max size gatherings outdoors of 20 ppl? Are there any community to link up to in these areas? I am just trying to figure out how "alone" I might be if live there by myself for say a month.
