Culture and Tradition

What makes the Algarve so attractive is the Algarvians themselves, who remain largely unaffected by modern day tourism. Much of their culture and tradition survives today, seen in the little whitewashed houses and domed churches decorated with blue and white patterned tiles that echo a bygone age. Local fishermen go about their daily business amongst the sunbathers on the beach, while a journey inland to the Monchique mountains reveals unspoilt villages and many old customs that still survive.

Food and Dining

Algarvian cuisine should not be ignored. Wherever you go there is an abundance of eating places, ranging from à la carte restaurants to small beach bars and cafés serving traditional meat and fish dishes. Specialities include Chicken Piri Piri and charcoal grilled sardines, accompanied by year-round fresh fruit and vegetables and washed down with good local wines.
