With some of the best beaches in Europe The Algarve is the ideal holiday destination, but that’s not all; with about 30 high-class courses and year round warm weather, golf is becoming as popular as lying on The Algarve’s golden sand.
The region’s many spas offer relaxing and pampering in abundance, and the local food is out of this world too. But it’s also the landscape that keeps tourists flocking back – lush unspoilt countryside that you’ll find nowhere else.
