The paradise is waiting for you - The Algarve… so close to you!


Get acquainted with the most famous tourist destination of Portugal and one of the most sought destinations in all Western Europe. The Algarve has a coastline of about 150 km - cliffs, dunes and golden beaches washed by the waters of the Atlantic, which contrast with the beautiful natural landscapes of the interior.

With a typical Mediterranean climate, this is the ideal place to spend a day relaxing on the beach, or to do a walking in communion with nature. The variety of activities available make this the most suitable destination for all tastes and ages.

If you like activities related to the sea, nature, sport, heritage, culture and people, or simply a lively nightlife, the Algarve is a holiday destination not to be missed.

The contrast sea and mountain may still give you some pleasant experiences in terms of gastronomy. The odours and flavors of traditional cuisine of the Algarve comes from the fresh ingredients produced in the region and knowledge acquired over time in the art of preparing those ingredients.

The specialties like the stews, açordas and cataplanas are not to lose if you like fish and seafood. From the orchards and green pastures of the mountain came the ingredients of meat dishes: the chicken “cerejada”, the grain stew and other game dishes make the delight of meat lovers.

Finally, the pearl of the Algarve gastronomy: the sweets. Almonds, sugar, honey, eggs and figs are the basic ingredients. Be sure to taste Don Rodrigo, Morgado with almond or stuffed figs.

A set of infrastructure, quality of care and a holiday dream await you!
