The Algarve region
The Algarve offers 160 km of gorgeous, golden, sandy beaches, rocky coves, clear waters, rugged cliffs and enchanting grottoes. The South of Portugal was the last place to gain independence from the Moors in 1292, conquered by the King Dom Afonso III and even today traces of the Moorish presence are visible in the unique terraces, chimneys and whitewashed villas.
Despite the obvious influence of tourism, a short drive inland reveals the true Algarve where life goes on much as it has for many centuries. This brightly coloured and verdant region is filled with orange groves, almond trees in blossom, carob trees and fragrant pines as well as some cork farms which are still in operation today. For the sports enthusiasts, the Algarve has ideal conditions and top class facilities; the golf courses are superb and have a highly prized reputation.
Watersports are second to none with the West coast offering the best surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing conditions. Above all, the Algarve is a children's haven with several exciting water parks, 'Zoomarine' sealife centre, horse riding centres and plenty of fun on the beaches! Whatever your preference, you will find your personal paradise in the Algarve.
Albufeira / Sesmarias Albufeira area
Located near Praia dos Salgados beach, which extends over 7km of the coastline, there is a fabulous golf course with wonderful views which lies next to the Lagoas dos Salgados lagoons, areas that are part of the scenic National Ecological Reserve.
Spending time here is to make every day an opportunity to enjoy the things you like the most. There is a sealife centre 'Zoomarine' close by, as well as waterparks and a huge shopping centre 'Algarve Shopping' all within a 15 minute drive. Around the area there are plenty of restaurants with a variety of menus to suit everyone's tastes and budgets. Nightlife is bountiful in the neighbouring towns of Albufeira and Armacao de Pera.
The area of Sao Rafael, where peace and quiet starts, and some of the most fantastic Algarve beaches are just a short stroll away. Here you will find lovely white sand beaches with some superb beach restaurants, and the red rock formations which the Algarve is famous for such as Sao Rafael, Praia Grande, Praia do Coelho, Castelo, Evaristo and the long beautiful Gale beach, are all within a few minutes walk or drive.
