  • THE ALGARVE © Lonelyplanetpublications Alternatives, Especiallyforinlandadventures
    © Lonely Planet Publications 178 The Algarve Love it or loathe it, it’s easy to see the allure of the Algarve: breathtaking cliffs, golden sands, scalloped bays and long sandy islands. And let’s not forget (as too many do) the stunning inland area, which boasts beautiful countryside and pretty castle towns. Coastal Algarve, Portugal’s premier holiday destination, sold its soul to tourism in the six- ties and, it seems, it’s still for sale… Just behind the beachscape, especially along the south coast, loom some monstrosities: huge conglomerations of bland, modern holiday villas and brash resorts. For some it’s paradise, for others it’s an abhorrence. THE ALGARVE Whatever your view, there’s no doubting the Algarve’s personality. Underrated Faro boasts beautiful assets, especially the Parque Natural da Rio Formosa; Lagos is the Algarve’s carnival queen; and elegant Tavira boasts a beautiful island beach. The rugged west coast is more relaxed; this enchanting place is more about nature and less about construction (for now, any- way). The laid-back villages of Sagres and Carrapateira attract surf- and sun-loving visitors. But it’s the inner Algarve that really shines. To bypass this area is to miss the Algarve proper: cork tree– and flower-covered hillsides, historic villages (many with restaurants serv- ing intoxicating cuisine), walking tracks and birdlife. Highlights include stunning Silves above the banks of the Rio Arade, sleepy Alcoutim on the picture-perfect Rio Guadiana, and quaint Monchique. The region has some excellent walking opportunities and the Via Algarviana passes through the area.

Le spiagge e le calette, dominate da falesie scoscese, ti offriranno vedute paradisiache, ma l'odore dell'oceano si intreccerà con gli aromi del timo e dell'eucalipto, in una grande varietà di flora e fauna mediterranea. Il nostro itinerario eviterà la costa sud, più turistica, per concentrarsi sulla meno conosciuta costa occidentale: camminerai verso sud, immergendoti nel Parco Naturale del "Sudoeste Alentejano de Costa Vicentina", in un paesaggio che varia dalle dune di sabbia e le scogliere rocciose della costa a boschi mediterranei e sentieri costellati di cespugli d'erica. Non mancheranno le occasioni di calarsi nello stile di vita portoghese, un inno a godersi la vita: dai bagni nell'oceano ai gustosi piatti di pesce fresco, accompagnati dal buon vino bianco locale. I consigli di SloWays: Segui le orme dei pellegrini sulla Rota Vicentina, lungo una delle coste meglio preservate d'Europa; Cammina circondato da un paesaggio meraviglioso, tra fari sul mare e cale rocciose dove nidificano le cicogne; Immergiti tra le onde della spiaggia di Bordeira a Carrapateira, un vero paradiso per i surfisti; Parla con gli abitanti locali in un bar di paese sorseggiando un caffè freddo.

    Marine Geology 231 (2006) 1–36 www.elsevier.com/locate/margeo Cenozoic seismic stratigraphy and tectonic evolution of the Algarve margin (offshore Portugal, southwestern Iberian Peninsula) ⁎ Fernando C. Lopes a,b, , P.P. Cunha a, B. Le Gall c a Departamento de Ciências da Terra, Univ. Coimbra, Largo Marquês de Pombal, 3000-272 Coimbra, Portugal b Centro de Geofísica, Instituto Geofísico da Univ. Coimbra, Av. Dr. Dias da Silva, 3000-134 Coimbra, Portugal c UMR 6538 CNRS, Institut Universitaire Européen de La Mer, Place Nicolas Copernic, 29280 Plouzane, France Received 16 February 2005; received in revised form 23 May 2006; accepted 24 May 2006 Abstract The Cenozoic seismic stratigraphy and tectonic evolution of the Algarve margin (southwestern border of the Iberian Peninsula) are documented from multichannel seismic reflection data, isochron and time–structure maps. Six seismic units (B to G), bounded by unconformities and probably ranging in age from Campanian to Holocene, are identified. Their ages are derived from: 1) oil exploration wells drilled in the margin; 2) geometrical relationship with the Guadalquivir Allochthonous Unit; 3) correlation with the onshore stratigraphic record of the Algarve basin; and 4) lateral correlation with unconformities dated in adjacent basins and related to tectonic events that affected Iberia during the Cenozoic. Three main tectonic domains, bounded by major fault zones that segment the Algarve margin, are characterised: a western central domain, bounded to the west by the N–S Portimão–Monchique Fault Zone and to the east by the N–S Albufeira Fault Zone; an eastern central domain, bounded to the east by the N140° São Marcos–Quarteira Fault Zone; and an eastern domain located east of this latter structure.

  • Algarve Brochure.Pdf
    You have probably heard about the Algarve. A friend may have told you about one of its magnificent beaches, maybe you’ve seen a report about its cuisine or perhaps you’ve picked up a brochure like this one before. But there is an Algarve that you haven’t seen, tasted or explored before: it’s the Algarve that the local people know and love. For almost three thousand years Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Goths, Maghrebins and Mauritanians did what you do - they passed through the Algarve. Until, in 1249, the Al-Gharb (“the West”) was finally taken from the Islamic world by Sancho II, who took the title of King of Portugal and the Algarve. Since then, the pride shared by the inhabitants of the Algarve has compelled them to reveal their region’s greatest secrets to visitors – about their favourite beaches, hidden hamlets, natural walks and even recommending the best restaurants.

The sun shines brightly in the Algarve for around 300 days a year, during spring and summer naturally, but in autumn and winter as well. The sea is always ready to welcome swimmers, surfers, body-boarders, divers, fishermen, yachtsmen, sailors and any other lovers of clear, warm waters.

  • Tours Around the Algarve
    BARLAVENTO BARLAVENTO Região de Turismo do Algarve SAGRES TOUR SAGRES SAGRES TOUR SAGRES The Algarve is the most westerly part of mainland Europe, the last harbouring place before entering the waters of the Atlantic, a region where cultures have mingled since time immemorial. Rotas & Caminhos do Algarve (Routes and Tours of the Algarve) aims to provide visitors with information to help them plan a stay full of powerful emotions, a passport to adventure, in which the magic of nature, excellent hospitality, the grandeur of the Algarve’s cultural heritage, but also those luxurious and cosmopolitan touches all come together. These will be tours which will lure you into different kinds of activity and adventure, on a challenge of discovery. The hundreds of beaches in the Algarve seduce people with their white sands and Atlantic waters, which sometimes surge in sheets of spray and sometimes break on the beaches in warm waves. These are places to relax during lively family holidays, places for high-energy sporting activity, or for quiet contemplation of romantic sunsets. Inland, there is unexplored countryside, with huge areas of nature reserves, where you can follow the majestic flight of eagles or the smooth gliding of the storks. Things that are always mentioned about the people of the Algarve are their hospitality and their prowess as story-tellers, that they are always ready to share experiences, and are open to CREDITS change and diversity.
