The Algarve / Central Algarve region

The Algarve is situated on Portugal's southern coast and takes its name from the Arabic Al Gharb meaning 'country to the west'.

The region is divided up in to 16 municipalities including Albufeira, Aljezur, Faro, Lagoa, Lagos and Tavira and covers over 5,000 square kilometers.

There are over 350,000 permanent inhabitants and during the summer months this figure increases to over 1 million due to the influx of tourists.

Temperatures during the summer months regularly reach over 30 degrees and the average daytime temperature during the winter is around 14 degrees

The climate, location and the landscape of the Algarve make this the ideal golfing paradise with over 20 tended courses including Sir Henry Cottons' Championship course at Penina.

However, the Algarve is not just about Golf. The region has something for everyone including watersports, horseriding, sightseeing, fishing, hunting, shopping, theme parks and of course its record number of EEC 'Blue flag award' beaches.

The Algarve dates back to around 4000 years ago when the earliest settlers established the towns of Lagoa, Lagos and Tavira. Much of todays architecture is based on the Moorish traditions from the 8th century when Silves was the capital of the region and the Moors ruled over the area. It wasn't until 1249 that the region became part of the Kingdom of Portugal.

Modern day Algarve has benefitted enormously from Portugal's membership in the EU and funding has been used to develop the road network including the A22 motorway that stretches from Vila Real de Santo Antonio in the east to Lagos in the west and the Guidaiana river bridge that links Portugal and Spain.

The region is also a 'stopover' point for migrating birds on their way to Africa.

A visit to Cape St Vincent, where Nelson defeated the Spanish during the French Revolutionary wars west of Sagres is a must for all bird lovers.

During October, March and April you will see a vast array of bird species making there journey north or south.

The town of Silves is a 15 minute drive north from Carvoeiro and was the capital of the Algarve in Moorish times. Its points of interest include its majestic restored Moorish castle, its Gothic cathedral and the "Cruz da Portugal".
