It’s a little known fact that Montechoro on the Algarve was the site of the world’s finest example of the paunchy, bald-headed, red Englishman.
Back in 2002, Terry Jessop of Doncaster woke on the third day of his holiday to find that his previously immaculate alabaster white skin had not been protected by the patchy covering of hair all over his torso. He was the colour of his beloved Man Utd shirt and this, allied to his middle-aged spread and shaven head, led to him being granted the title of Most English-Looking Man in History.
Things to do in Montechoro
With its lines of traditional English pubs, this is an area where you can embrace the traditional English lifestyle where you drink lager, watch football, go bald, grow a paunch, get sunburnt and be a man. The last point is particularly important. If you truly want to live the lifestyle, you should on no account be a woman. It’s just not the done thing.
