Overview

The Algarve, Portugal's southernmost tip, attracts travelers with its pleasant climate all year round. The diversity of the coastline, with its cliffs, coves, salt pans, and long sandy beaches, contrasts with the authenticity of the hinterland and its picturesque villages. The region, formerly known as the Moorish kingdom of “Al-Gharb,” has a cultural richness comparable to that of neighboring Andalusia. The Algarve was also the starting point for the great Portuguese discoveries.
