The Algarve
The Algarve region is an extensive and pleasing one, distinct in the smell of the sea and the scent of wild flowers, with a Mediterranean climate.
A walk through the its narrow streets and steps is to be found away from the coast. But you can also easily lose yourself in the immensity of the coastal strip.
After the charm of the landscape, you can discover the aromas and flavours of the traditional Algarve cuisine. Recommended is the wide range of choices of the famous regional delicacies, such as figs, almonds, carobs and the brandy made from the locally grown medronho (arbutus-berry), distilled up in the hills.
Among the hills and plains you will find places of enormous ecological interest, rich in biodiversity and ecosystems, and you will feel as though you are passing through an area full of different traditions, unaffected for many centuries. The handicraft is skilfully manufactured by the local craftsmen, who make use of old, ancestral techniques and produce an exceptional range of pottery, woven baskets, copper and brass articles, or other pieces made of linen and jute.
Not far away from the relaxing peace of the inland region is the enthusiasm of the Algarve nightlife, offered by a variety of restaurants, terraces, bars and marinas.
The region’s heritage is also a must see, the architecture of the whitewashed houses, with their brightly-coloured mouldings and gorgeous chimneys, the churches and the museums.
The wide range of outdoor sports that are available is highly recommended, whether you’re playing golf on lush green courses or benefiting from some physical exercise, whether you’re on the coast or in the hills, where before the first signs of spring, the land is covered in a pinkish white blanket, produced by the blossom of the almond-trees.
