Discover The Algarve

Situated alongside Spain in the far southwestern corner of Europe, Portugal has a population of just over 10 million and is one of the most recent countries welcomed into the European Union.

	Portugal has maintained a strong Latin influence resulting in a warm, open and family orientated culture. The Algarve region, home to only 400,000 residents, faces the Atlantic Ocean and is located in the southwest corner of Portugal.

	The nation's capital, Lisbon is just over two hours drive away - Ideal for those who want to visit this bustling cosmopolitan city. Travel throughout Portugal has been vastly improved in recent years. The motorway from Faro airport to Lagos has now been completed and the journey time has been halved to under one hour.

The Algarve region is blessed with fantastic sandy beaches and the best golfing experience in Europe. With 300 sunshine filled days each year and it's distinctive rugged landscape, it is no wonder that this area is widely regarded as the “California of Europe” and has become a favourite holiday destination.
