Where
to Golf in Algarve by Seb Jay
Golfing in the Algarve is an
experience to savour. There are twenty excellent golf courses dotted around
the Algarve coast, each vying with the other for your golfing time. They
all provide impeccable facilities, challenging games, spectacular views,
and services to suit even the most fastidious golfer.
Parque da Floresta, Palmares,
Boavista, Penina, Morgado do Requengo are a few of the many courses,
accessible within a few minutes drive from each other. But be warned. With
a wide variety of entertainments on offer to beguile tourists, it is going
to be rather difficult to confine yourself just to the golf course!
| Beautiful Beaches -
The Algarve is well-known for its beaches. These stretches of paradise
vary from vast open plains of serene sand to rocky coves holding a wealth
of underwater treasures awaiting discovery. From Sagre up towards the north
however the seas are rather rough and unpredictable with their swift currents.
The most popular beaches in the Algarve have lifeguards on duty, and you'll
find all manner of water sports to enjoy. Beaches that spring to mind here
are the Praia Verde, Praia Ilha de Tavira, Praia do Barril and the Praia
da Armona.
All About Algarve -
What is immediately captivating about Algarve is its infinitely beautiful
landscape, as you may probably witness from the golf courses. Northern
Algarve is sheltered from gale-force winds by the Espinhacao de Cao, the
Monchique, and the Caldeirao hills. Orchards of orange, figs, and almond
trees in bloom are a heart-warming sight. |

The South is taken up by
the famous beaches, and cliffs with fabulous grottoes. Another significant
characteristic is the heady fragrance of the various blossoms that abound.
Depending on the time of the year you may be treated to the magnificent
blossoms of orange, almond, jacaranda, as well as wide variety of orchids.
Eating and drinking in
Algarve - Golfing all day can give you a huge appetite, but you will
need one in order to do justice to the wide variety of restaurants with
mouth-watering dishes on offer. Seafood rules of course, and you can try
the clams, mussels, crab, shrimps, squids, tuna, codfish, anything you
care to name, any which way you want it. You also get your beef, chicken,
pork recipes, as well as the occasional wild boar. To get the authentic
flavour of the local food you would do well to visit a place run by, and

the Indian, Chinese, Italian, and Greek eateries, in case you desire something
different.
