The Algarve is famous for its dynamic history, its vibrant arts and traditions and the diverse selection of adventures that can be done on its land and in its waters. Perhaps the most memorable recollections of a holiday in Portugal however will be the welcome from the people themselves who offer warm hospitality and entertain with folklore and dancing in the streets seemingly on a daily basis. The architecture in the Algarve is often white washed walls of stone contrasting beautifully against the blue of the sea and sky; a picture postcard to savour.
