The Algarve is the best known Portuguese region to most European tourists
and offers long stretches of clean white-sand beaches broken up by stupendous
rugged cliffs and fabulous grottoes together with a variety of holiday
resorts complete with year round sunshine.
The Algarve, Portugal’s southernmost province, provides a wealth of activities including water sports, golf, tennis and horse-riding. There are numerous fishing ports, beaches, restaurants, cafés and quaint bars where you can sample delicious local cuisine.
The architecture is unique and the fishing, water sports and golfing are second to none. There are plenty of golf courses, some of which are among the largest in Europe.
Faro is the capital of the Algarve. An attractive town with many points of interest. Faro has some Moorish and Roman ruins dating from the 13th century, but most buildings date from the second half of the 18th century after an earthquake in 1755 devastated the town.
Faro offers a wealth of restaurants, cafés, bars and clubs to suit all tastes as well as a beautiful old theatre, offering a full programme of dance, music and drama.
Along the coast from Faro, you will come to Albufeira passing on your way, glorious
coast line, terrific beaches and around 20 great golf courses.
