Algarve Travel Guide

From the Arabic, Al Gharb, for west, the Algarves is the southwestern most region in continental Europe. Neighboring Spanish Andalusia, the Algarves share the charming, tranquil temperament of the Iberian south. The home to ancient, and attractive towns like Tavira and Lagos, the Algarves is Portugal's most popular tourist destination outside of Lisbon. While the nation's capital draws crowds to its enchanting, elegant edifices, and fast-paced commercial and recreational zones, the Algarves is decidely low-key. The enchanting waters and silky sands draw flocks of travelers, but their mellow mood soaks in, sun tan slow. Languid but not lazy, refreshed and reclined, the Algarves are the Portuguese version of Australia's Gold Coast. Come with a couple paperbacks and some Aloe- and let the salty surf replenish you. Enjoy the excellent atmosphere of the surrounding environs, spend days at the beach, nights wandering the inviting streets and mornings plotting your retirement options.
