Exploring the Algarve
|
Beyond the Algarve
|
| Not just the finest beaches and golf courses. Towns of historical
interest, the countryside and nature reserves are all opportunities for good
days out. |
In the Alentejo, far from the crowds, step into another way of life and back
into history. Alternatively, visit the region of Andalusia in Spain. |

History
|
| Traditional industries - basketry, lace-making, metal work, weaving, wine
production - can be found but you may need a guide. Only the pottery and
ceramics industry has understood how to lure the tourist. |
The Romans were in the Algarve and Alentejo before you. Walled cities,
old stone buildings Moorish architecture - unheralded history everywhere. |

|
| Michael and Jacqueline York have lived and worked in the Algarve for

guides if you wish to explore the real Portugal. |
