Get Smart<br />
This time last year, the launch of Smart Living magazine received a<br />
warm summer welcome. Now we’ve come full-circle and this year’s<br />
summer issue offers an absorbing array of items for perusal as you soak up<br />
the sun or shelter in the shade...<br />
Want to bring out the artist in you? This issue spotlights the stimulating Virginie<br />
Ramires gallery; art classes with Tracy-Jane Pooler in Almancil - for budding Picassos;<br />
and a magical retreat in the Loulé countryside, Hacienda BeYou, which offers inspiring<br />
painting vacations to spark your creativity...<br />
Or how about cruising the Algarve’s sparkling coastal waters? Discover the Ocean<br />
Quest - a new, spaciously-designed catamaran offering exclusive excursions - and ideal<br />
for a super seaborne party!<br />
For exclusive lifestylers we highlight the stunning Medusis members club; the lavish new Four Seasons Fairways<br />
refurbishment; plus for pampered pooches we peek at top-dog kennels built by Decking Dave...<br />
Looking ahead, we preview this autumn’s BLiP (Better Living in Portugal) exhibition, staged by AFPOP - a regular draw for<br />
residents or anyone thinking of moving to this lovely, laid-back part of the world...<br />
Have a sizzling smart summer!<br />
