Faro |
The Algarve is also an ideal destination for sports enthusiasts |
|
Faro, the capital of Algarve, is sited on Portugal's most southerly headland |
|
The
Algarve, which is the southernmost province of Portugal is a 150
kilometre long coastal region of outstanding natural beauty. The
area stretches from the Spanish border to the towering cliffs
of St. Vincent on the west coast peninsular. Dramatic sandstone
cliffs overlook long golden beaches and the clear waters of the
Atlantic Ocean. Inland among the mountains and rolling hills you
will find pine forests, orchards of almonds, olives and figs and
peaceful, picturesque villages. Many of the larger towns are steeped
in history and the Arabic influence can be seen in their architecture.
Sports - The Algarve is also an ideal destination for sports enthusiasts,
especially golfers who come from far and wide to enjoy the many
beautiful and worldfamous golf courses in the region. Water sports
such as sailing, surfing and windsurfing
are also popular and well catered for. Eating out - Algarvian
cuisine is centered around fish which can be enjoyed fresh at
restaurants of all types, classic favourites include charcoal
grilled sardines, and cod fishcakes. Other dishes to look out
for are 'clado verde' (a soup of potato and cabbage with slices
of pork sausage) and hare and partridge can also be found on the
menu further inland. Some good local wines come from Lagos - look
for 'Vinho Lagoa' on the label. Places to visit - The capital
city, Faro offers a wide range of attractions to visitors. The
cathedral in the old part of the town with its cobbled streets
and peaceful square is well worth a visit as is the large shopping
centre. The city also boasts many beautiful churches and paved
pedestrianised areas with shops, cafes and restaurants.
