THE ALGARVE

A garden overlooking the sea, where winter is almond blossom time... Beaches of soft golden sand. A warm, crystal-clear sea. The constant companionship of a sun that will get you really brown.

And that is Algarve. A real international holiday centre. Where tourists from the world over find joy in living. Playing golf or tennis. Seeing shows at the casinos. Going skin diving, rowing or sailing. Trying out their skill at water skiing or riding. Every day of the year. Because it is always holiday time in the Algarve.

The Algarve can offer you literally hundreds of beaches. Sheltered by red-hued cliffs. Backed by pinewoods. And also delightful villages with fretwork chimneys. Hills rolling away into the distance. Old buildings that speak of the past.

Come and discover the Algarve. Where the countryside retains its primitive beauty.
