  • 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. The simple sophistication of the cuisine, drawing inspiration from the sea and seasoned with herbs, still Property of the: Algarve Tourism Board; E-mail: [email protected]; Web: www.visitalgarve.pt; retains a Moorish flavour, in the same way as the traditional Head Office: Av.

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.

For bird watchers you can often see Booted & Short Toed Eagles, the Golden Oriel, Griffon Vulture, Bee Eaters plus many other rare birds as this is the first stop for birds migrating from Africa to northern Europe. Simply while away the hours sitting and reading, take a leisurely dip in the pool and enjoy our 360 degree stunning panoramic views down over the rolling hills to the sea. Enjoy a bottle of wine and bbq on the terrace followed by an extravaganza of stargazing to finish off the evening. Don’t forget to visit ’Grissinda’ who owns the local shop in the village who also owned the working windmill in years gone by. Traditionally windmills were worked in pairs on adjoining hills with one mill grinding the coarse grain whilst the other ground the fine. Windmill of the sun has been lovingly restored and we have maintained the traditional bamboo ceilings and the internal circular structure of the original windmill. Although the roof has been replaced we have used local Santa Catherina tiles and exterior patio tiles from the same region (our original millstone is now a feature in the garden) The wooden windows and doors were made by a local craftsman and our tiled pictures were made to depict local scenes and produce.
