Algarve
"Al
– Gharb” ( the west ) is
what the Moors called the most southern Province of Portugal. In
their eyes the most westerly province of the Islamic empire. After
500 years of Moorish rule the Al – Gharb was conquered from the
Moors by king Alfonso 3rd in the 13th century. He
therefore became king of Portugal and the Algarve.
The
Algarve stretches for approx. 155km from the river Guadiana on the
Spanish border to the Cabo de São Vicente near Sages in the west
and is approx. 50km wide.
The
Algarve has preserved its own distinctive character and is very
different in climate, culture and scenery to the rest of Portugal.
Due
to its mild climate in winter and many days of sunshine during the
year, it has become a very sought after holiday region right
throughout the year. Offering many attractions for the most
discerning tourists.
