  • Unsere Strände in Der Algarve
    Unsere Strände in der Algarve An der Algarve finden Urlauber alles, was man zu einem besonderen Strandurlaub braucht. Der Atlantik lockt mit fantastischen Wellen, die Surfer das ganze Jahr über an. Besonders beliebt ist dafür die Region um Aljezur, denn dort können die spektakulären Wellen das ganze Jahr über geritten werden. Wer weiche Sandstrände bevorzugt, wird am ehesten an der Küste zwischen spanischer Grenze und Faro fündig. Die Vielfalt der Region lockt aber auch Abenteuer-Urlauber und Sonnenhungrige an. Egal, ob nun Erholung oder Action angesagt ist, hier werden alle gleichermaßen glücklich. Bei 300 Sonnentagen im Jahr ist das auch kein Wunder. Die Südküste der Algarve teilt sich in zwei Abschnitte: An der Westküste finden Sie die schroffen Felswände wie in Sagres und die malerischen Buchten. Teilweise sind sie ganz versteckt und nur schwer zu erreichen. Aber ein Besuch lohnt sich garantiert. An der östlichen Küste befinden sich hingegen die kilometerlangen und flachen Sandstrände. Schauen Sie selbst was Sie in Portugal entdecken möchten. Es gibt so viel zu sehen und so viele Strände, dass wir nun einige von der spanischen Grenze bis nach Odeceixe aufgelistet und beschrieben haben: Praia do Santo António: Nur noch der Fluss Rio Guadiana trennt Praia do Santo António von Spanien. Hier findet ihr ein Idyll, an dem ihr mit der puren Natur in Kontakt kommen könnt. Der kilometerlange Strand wird von einem grünen Dünenwald umgeben und verleiht diesem Ort ein zauberhaftes Ambiente. Obwohl der Strand nicht sehr touristisch ist, findet ihr hier eine Bar und einen Wassersportanbieter. Praia de Monte Gordo: In den Sommermonaten ist am weitläufigen Strand richtig viel los, dann strömen zahlreiche Familien aus Portugal und Spanien hierher, um ihre Sommerferien am milden Atlantik zu verbringen.

Or rather big, naturally. This territory of nearly five thousand square 14 Planalto Vicentino kilometres goes far beyond the sands that concentrate the attention of tourists in the summer. 20 Paleodunes From the Barlavento to the Sotavento, there are hidden protected natural areas or that haven’t 23 Reserva Biogenética de Sagres had the attention they deserve. They all wait patiently in the wild, for the looks and the passing 28 Estuaries and Marine Environment by of true Nature lovers. If you are one of them, I warn you that here, in these pages, the journey 33 South Coast begins, through the cliffs, the forest, the riparian corridors and estuarine systems of the Algarve. 38 Costal Wetlands 40 Ria Formosa In fact, we have so many landscapes and with such great biological importance that choosing 47 Ria de Alvor just one would be a Herculean task. And if there is no possible selection among the various 51 Estuário do Arade natural environments in the Algarve, the only solution is to discover them all. Slowly and with 54 Marshes, Reedbeds and Coastal Lagoons heightened senses. 59 Dune Systems and Pine Forests 65 Cliffs at Central Algarve This guide therefore strengthens the diversity of experiences that the destination offers to those 69 Barrocal who want to turn relaxation time into a real vacation. It is no coincidence that nature tourism 76 Fonte da Benémola emerges as one of the products that are “in development” in the Algarve, in the revision proposal 79 Ribeira de Quarteira document of the National Strategic Plan for Tourism (PENT).

  • Praia Da Rocha (Algarve, Portugal): Um Paradigma Da Antropização Do Litoral * Praia Da Rocha (Portugal): an Anthropization Paradigm of the Algarve Coast
    Revista da Gestão Costeira Integrada 12(1):31-42 (2012) Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management 12(1):31-42 (2012) http://www.aprh.pt/rgci/pdf/rgci-317_Freitas.pdf DOI:10.5894/rgci317 Praia da Rocha (Algarve, Portugal): um paradigma da antropização do litoral * Praia da Rocha (Portugal): an anthropization paradigm of the Algarve coast Joana Gaspar de Freitas @, 1, J. A. Dias 2 RESUMO A Praia da Rocha tem pouco mais de um século de existência no que toca à sua ocupação com vista à utilização dos banhos marítimos. Durante este tempo, a localidade transformou-se radicalmente passando de um pequeno povoado à beira-mar com meia dúzia de casas a um grande centro urbano que, durante o verão, atrai milhares de turistas. Este crescimento urbano desmedido, registado sobretudo nas últimas décadas do século XX, mostra-se muito semelhante ao que ocorreu na maioria dos núcleos costeiros do Algarve Central. O caso da Praia da Rocha, porém, revela-se paradigmático, uma vez que no arranque da expansão turística, no princípio dos anos 70, se procedeu à alimentação artificial da praia, com vista ao alargamento do areal para aumentar a sua capacidade de utilização balnear e para evitar que as vagas atingindo as falésias pusessem em risco as construções edificadas ali na última década. O sucesso das operações de enchimento (1970, 1983 e 1996) fazem da Praia da Rocha um caso único no país e um magnífico exemplo de antropicosta. O êxito alcançado na ampliação do areal na Rocha teve, contudo, um lado perverso no que toca à ocupação humana daquele litoral: possibilitou a expansão do turismo de massas, ao criar uma praia com maior capacidade de carga e ao permitir – graças à subtracção da arriba aos processos marinhos - um crescimento da volumetria das construções, dando origem, a partir dos anos 80, ao aparecimento de uma frente contínua de edificações de grandes dimensões adjacentes à costa.

Certainly nothing that the region’s most fervent fans are not already aware of. They experience a constant stream of emotions, awakened by the fine sandy beaches, the scent of the sea air, the greenish-blue colour of the sea, the tiny inhabitants of the rock pools (such as crabs and starfish) and the larger ones in the waters along the shore (such as dolphins), the warm sun flooding the natural landscape with its golden rays and all the vast array of activities on offer at the beach. Holidaymakers are spoiled for choice here. You can go surfing, bodyboarding, water skiing, kitesurfing, parasailing or deep-sea fishing; there are organised boat trips, pedal boats and kayaks; you can play seaside racquet games, build gigantic sandcastles, read a book or simply soak in the refreshing waters of the Atlantic. All of these activities can be enjoyed on our beaches. And if you’re a dedicated beachgoer, you’re bound to have tried several, all of them offering safety and excellent services for summer holidaymakers. But being a fan of the Algarve’s beaches means more still: it means recognising that they are more inviting than any others for holidays in summer and walking in winter, as an alternative to the uplands of the serra.
