The Algarve is one of Portugal’s most popular tourist regions. And with good reason! This region in the South of Portugal is synonymous with sunshine and some of the most beautiful golden sandy beaches in Europe.
The Algarve’s coastal landscapes, with their imposing cliffs and ochre colours, are a real picture postcard of the region. Typical Moorish-influenced villages with their brightly coloured whitewashed houses line the coastline.
In addition, the wild, protected natural areas are bursting with natural, soothing, and unique biodiversity. Orange groves are abundant throughout the region. Away from the coastal crowds during the summer season, the Algarve’s hinterland still offers some authentic, peaceful spots.
Why visit Algarve, the south of Portugal?
The southern coast of the Algarve is packed with splendid beaches that attract national and international crowds. They are a real visual spectacle with their warm colourful rocks, bathed in clear, calm waters. They are bordered by cliffs, caves and astonishing underground galleries shaped by the ocean over time. Among the must-see beaches are da Dona Ana, da Marinha, do Carvoeiro, da Falesia, da Rocha, and the islands of Ria Formosa…
Further west, the Vicentine coast, with its steep, craggy cliffs, overlooks small secret coves. Here, the wilder sea is a delight for experienced surfers and also for those looking for more tranquillity! These magnificent beaches include Odexeice, Amoreira, Arrifana, Bordeira, Mareta, Burgau…
Further East, the villages of Aljezur, Castro Marim, Cacelha velha, Tavira with their brightly painted whitewashed houses, bear witness to the long history of the Arab populations in this region of Portugal. The ruins of castles, fortresses and bourgeois mansions tell the heroic stories of the past and offer breathtaking views of the horizon!
Active fishing villages grace the coast and beaches with their colourful boats. Most of them face the harsh reality of a tradition that has been more and more difficult to maintain over the years. They punctuate the beaches with their brightly coloured boats and their nets amassed on the sand. These include Alvor, Carvoeiro, Armação de Pera, Santa Luzia, Ferragudo, Benagil..
Finally Algarve region is home to some fabulous unspoilt nature parks, with an extraordinary wealth of biodiversity. It is overflowing with rare and endemic plant and animal species. Large numbers of migratory birds such as flamingos, herons, storks and other birds come to recharge their batteries, to the delight of ornithologists and birdwatchers.
The Ria Formosa, South-West Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Parks, Sapal de Castro Marim, and Vila Real de Santo Antonio are paradises to be explored on land, with their vast expanses of lagoons, islets, marshes, salt marshes and fine sandy beaches.
