When I decided to create this website my good lady wife said to me “do you know how many different ways people spell Algarve?”

I replied most people get it right they simply put A-L-G-A-R-V-E

“wrong” smirked Mrs T and to prove it she handed me a post card from her cousin Jilly

Dear All

Having a great time in the algarvve weather is…

Have to admit I was stunned cousin Jilly is an English teacher and the front of the card said on it Portimao, Algarve doh, she must have been on the vino or caught the sun.

Anyway I decided to do a bit of digging on the net and found a multitude of misspells for Algarve here are just a few.

allgarve, alggarve, algarrve, algarvve, algarv, algare, alarve, algrve, algave, agarve, algavre, algarev, algrave, alagrve, lagarve, aglarve, algaarve

For the record Algarve is spelt A-L-G-A-R-V-E
