ALGARVE FACTS

LOCATION

The Algarve, Portugal’s southernmost region, is known for its Atlantic beaches and golf resorts. Whitewashed fishing villages on low cliffs overlooking sandy coves were transformed in the 1960s, and now its central coast between Lagos and Faro is lined with villas, hotels, bars and restaurants.

CLIMATE

The temperate Algarve climate and the warm weather of the Algarve represent undoubtedly some of the strongest points for the attraction of tourists to this region. All year round, the Algarve enjoys the best climate in Europe.

CUISINE

Fish and seafood is, of course, a staple of Algarve cuisine, and there are few greater pleasures in life than a simple plate of grilled sardines, freshly caught. But it’s not all about fish! In fact, the Algarve offers plenty meat dishes such as the Frango Piri Piri, or spicy grilled chicken. Of course it’s only right that you enjoy a glass of the local wine to wash down all this delicious food – and the Algarvios are as proud of their vinho as they are their comida.
