Activities in the Algarve
The Algarve Coastline is famous for its world-class golf courses and beautiful sandy beaches. With a wealth of aquatic activities from sailing to snorkeling, for a visitor wanting to stay active whilst here, you will have no trouble keeping busy.
Natural reservoirs abound and pine forests and fig trees grow in harmony. With a rich history of conquests from the northern tip of Africa, architectural remnants from the moors can still be found in the surrounding areas of the Golden coast.
The cuisine in the Algarve is dominated by the superb fresh fish and seafood from the near Atlantic, although you will not want to miss the Piri-Piri chicken that is served in everything from beach shacks to gourmet restaurants. In the hilly countryside delicate rural dishes with lamb or venison are served at moderate prices. The influence of the former Portuguese colonies contributes to the richness of the gastronomy as well as the Moorish heritage. And of course guests will find international cuisine from all over the world, whatever your craving.
Nightlife is full of surprises with a plentitude of bars, clubs and casinos to keep you up till the morning light.
