Product Description
Discover Portugal. Includes FREE planning and background information. Love it or loathe it, it-s easy to see the allure of the Algarve: breathtaking cliffs, golden sands, scalloped bays and long sandy islands. And let-s not forget (as too many do) the stunning inland area, which boasts beautiful countryside and pretty castle towns. It-s the inner Algarve that really shines. To bypass this area is to miss the Algarve proper: cork tree- and flower-covered hillsides, historic villages (many with restaurants serving intoxicating cuisine), walking tracks and birdlife. Highlights include stunning Silves above the banks of the Rio Arade, sleepy Alcoutim on the picture-perfect Rio Guadiana, and quaint Monchique. The region has some excellent walking opportunities and the Via Algarviana passes through the area.
