The Algarve

The Algarve. Wherever you look, the color of the mountains and the sea is always there, like a watercolor dotted with touches of gold, green and blue. The region, huge and pleasant, benefits from a Mediterranean climate, imbued with the smell of the sea at low tide and the scent of wildflowers.

A stroll through the tangled web of narrow streets, alleys, and only footsteps away from the coast, is the best way to familiarize yourself with this part of region. But you can also easily get lost in the vastness of the coastal strip. Here, the backdrop hosts of some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, where you can admire the rocky coastline and its shadows on the sand.

After this enchanting landscape, you will discover the aromas and flavors of traditional Algarve cuisine. The menu may consist of fish and shellfish, with such dishes as caldeirada peixe (fish stew), the cataplana ameijoas (clams steamed in a copper pan) or, you might enjoy the traditional mountain cuisine with chickpeas and stewed cabbage. The range of choices will also include the famous regional sweets, such as figs, almonds, carob fruits and brandy, made from the local medronho (strawberry tree), distilled in the hills, in old copper stills.

Walking through the Algarve, among hills and plains, sheltering sites of great ecological interest, rich in biodiversity and ecosystems, you will get a sense of crossing a region, rich of different traditions, intact for centuries.

The craft is skillfully done by local craftsmen, using ancient and ancestral techniques and produce an excellent range of pottery, woven baskets, copper and brass items, or other items, made from linen and jute.

Only footsteps away from the peacefulness of this back-land region, lies the excitement of Algarve's nightlife. With bars, nightclubs, marinas and casinos, the party is guaranteed to visitors.

The architectural heritage of the region should not be forgotten. The architecture of the whitewashed houses, with their brightly colored castings and their superb fireplaces, the belfries of churches and the museums, all testify in their way of the ancestors of the Algarvian people and contribute to make of this country a very special destination.

We also recommend a wide range of outdoor activities, like playing golf on sumptuous courses, doing some exercises in some of the excellent facilities in the area, whether being on the coastline or high-up in the hills, where, after harsh winter or even before first signals of spring, the land is covered by a pinkish white coat, from the flowers of almonds scattered across the horizon.
