Tourist Guide — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:13:15 +0000

Because of its exceptional climate, its soil and its south-facing location, the Algarve has what is known in specialist wine terminology as an excellent terroir for growing vines. For this reason, the Tartessians are thought to have been the first people to produce wine in the region in about 2000 B.C. They were followed by others, from the Phoenicians to Greeks and from the Celts to the Romans, who, when they brought Christianity to the Peninsula, introduced wine into the communion liturgy because it was a product regarded by the church as pure and uncorrupted.

Portuguese wine is among the world’s famous wines like French wine, with this comprehensive guide you will be able to discover some of the hidden gems of traditional Portuguese wine.

Tourist Guide — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:49:42 +0000

Officially the Spring starts in May, but around March in the Algarve you can already feel it in the air. The flowers blossom and the warm days start to make you feel energetic and inviting for a walk in the beach or the country side. Which makes the perfect scenery for the events that start to emerge by this time.

Together with the beautiful view of the almond trees in blossom, you can go to events like the Festival of Gastronomy of the Serra in Tavira or the 16th Traditional Sausage Fair of ther Serra de Monchique.
