THE ALGARVE<br />
The Algarve is the southernmost region in Portugal framed by a 200km coastline.<br />
It is known for its promise of more than 300 days of sun per year, award winning<br />
beaches, authentic cuisine and a range of outdoor activities that attracts thrill seekers and<br />
nature lovers alike. For keen golfers, the region has a plethora of award winning courses.<br />
However there is more to the Algarve than first meets the eye.<br />
The Algarve is a region of hidden cultural delights; small, simple restaurants pull visitors<br />
back time and time again while Michelin starred restaurants attract a globetrotting<br />
international clientele. The sea is integral to the Algarvian way of life, one that is closely<br />
bound to nature. Inland, old villages preserve a life that is historic and rich in culture,<br />
and lived in harmony with the seasons. In villages of small cobbled streets, you will find<br />
whitewashed houses and small local cafes serving bica (espresso), while sardines are<br />
grilled openly on the streets, as they have done for years gone by.<br />
All year round the region’s beautiful beaches, nature<br />
reserves, picturesque villages, golf courses, castles and<br />
fortresses can be enjoyed in all their splendour. Day or<br />
night, visitors to the region have everything that they<br />
need to enjoy the delights of the Algarve, whether for sun<br />
and sea, or for sport, relaxation, history, culture, nature,<br />
golf or local gastronomy.<br />
