The Algarve region
In the East Algarve or, like the Portuguese say: the Sotavento, which means "lee-side", you still find pure nature. Like the Ria Formosa, an extended lagoon-area along the coast from Faro to Vila Real de Sto António, the hills of the Serra de Caldeirão in the hinterland of Tavira and the river Guadiana, wich connects the Algarve with the Spanish Andalusia.
For the sea and beach-lover there are the sandy beaches of miles and miles like Ilha deTavira, Cabanas, Monte Gordo, Manta Rota, Praia Verde(Altura), Farol and Faro Island (Faro), Armona and Culatra (Olhão) en Fuzeta. Historic, cultural and authentic places of interest are to be found among other things in Tavira, Faro, Estoi and Castro Marim.
The East Algarve has several golf courses, walking- and biking-roads, marinas , public swimming pools and sportparks. The sea-side resorts offer numerous possibilities for going out. For gastronomes there are culinary events like the Festival de Marisco in Olhão and the many fairs with specialties from the hinterland, the Serra.
Because of the favourable location the Sotavento is protected against the firm west winds. Besides an extra agreable temperature this also means safe swimming, diving and sailing on the unspoilt Atlantic coast.
The inhabitants of the East Algarve are friendly, hospitable and proud of the beauty and purity of their region. They hearty invite you to share these experiences!
