The Algarve has always been a popular place to visit starting from the late 1950´s when the first British tourists arrived. They were soon followed by many other nationalities who traveled to the Algarve for their exclusive getaway. This increased when Portugal began to invest and saw the various possibilities to turn the Algarve into a place of leisure that can be used throughout the entire year. Pre-warned by the Spanish overbuild Costa's they encouraged low-rise building and carefully planned urbanizations without losing the Algarve's character.
The Algarve is already one of the top destinations in the world mainly due to the amazing climate, sandy beaches, over 30 golf courses, local cuisine, and all year around sporting activities that vary from horse riding on the beach to the more daring sports.
The Algarve offers an ideal location for a second home or residence.
