I can't make the Algarve in that time-frame, but I might be able to make Lisbon. I'd love to meet some folks, in what is a wonderfully photogenic city, and just about my favorite place to be in the entire world. If you've not yet rented a villa, I know a renter in Arma??o de P?ra. I hope you do find someone to take you around- Lisbon is still a city where the seemingly best restaurants are behind unmarked, unassuming doors, or worse, tucked inside a coffee shop so far in the back you have to walk through the kitchen to get to where you sit. You often have to know the place to get to know the place. Those are the places my friends take me. Bring Tri-X and plan on developing in Diafine- and use a Noctilux if you have one. Watching a full Portuguese family from grandparents on down to babies sit down for a meal is an experience! You've chosen a good time to go- end of the tourist season, and it's warm without raining. I was already there this year, and I already miss it.
