East Algarve

   In the East Algarve or, like the Portuguese say: the Sotavento, which means "lee-side", you
   still find pure nature.
   Like f.i. the Ria Formosa, an extended lagoon-area along the coast from Faro to
   Vila Real de Sto António, the hills of the Serra de Caldeirão in the hinterland of Tavira
   and the river Guadiana, wich connects the Algarve with the Spanish Andalusia.

   For the sea and beach-lover there are the sandy beaches of miles and miles like Ilha deTavira,    Cabanas, Monte Gordo, Manta Rota, Praia Verde(Altura), Farol and Faro Island (Faro), Armona    and Culatra (Olhão) en Fuzeta.
   Historic, cultural and authentic places of interest are to be found among other things in Tavira,    Faro, Estoi and Castro Marim. 

   The East Algarve has several golfcourses, walking- and biking-roads, marinas , public    swimmingpools and sportparks.
   The sea-side resorts offer numerous possibilities for going out.
   For gastronomes there are culinary events like the Festival de Marisco in Olhão and the many fairs    with specialties from the hinterland, the Serra.

   Because of the favourable location the Sotavento is protected against the firm west winds.
   Besides an extra agreable temperature this also means safe swimming, diving and sailing at the    unspoilt Atlantic coast.

   The inhabitants of the East Algarve are friendly, hospitable and proud of the beauty and purity of    their region. They hearty invite you to share these experiences!
