The Algarve - An Introduction
The Algarve is the most southern region of Portugal. With around 100 miles (160 km) of beaches and 300 days of sunshine a year it makes an ideal holiday destination.
The Algarve coastline is a mix of beaches and bays, many secluded, which are lined with with orange and red sandstone cliffs and abundant trees on one side and the cool Atlantic ocean on the other.
Moorish villages, golf, bars, restaurants, clubs, watersports and more golf, all combine to make the Algarve what it is.
