Algarve
Southern Portugal
Overview
The Algarve is Portugal’s southernmost mainland region. Its landscape ranges from limestone cliffs and coves in the central and western coast to the barrier islands and lagoons of the Ria Formosa in the east, with inland hills, historic towns and working communities beyond the resort areas.
