hose who take the Algarve’s path less travelled and head east away from Faro airport, find themselves richly rewarded. Stretching from Faro to Vila Real de Santo António, life marches (or, rather, pleasantly ambles) to a different beat in the Eastern Algarve and - in contrast to the hustle and bustle to be found elsewhere - traditional towns and villages offer a more tranquil take on Portuguese living. With an enchanting blend of historic culture, scenic views and breathtaking beaches, this sleepy corner of the country found nestled up against the Spanish border, is emerging as a rising star in the property market. Much of the area’s charm lies in its unspoilt identity, with many towns retaining plenty of old-world character thanks to more rigorous building restrictions than elsewhere on the Algarve. From the cobbled streets and orange-tree-edged squares of towns such as Moncarapacho, Vila Real and Tavira
14
(undoubtedly one of the Algarve’s prettiest towns, traditional white washed buildings, distinctive rooftops and decorative azulejo facades) to the former fishing villages of Cabanas and Santa Luzia (where octopus is a local speciality), those looking for a more laidback way of life will find themselves spoilt for choice. That same hassle-free spirit also extends to the city and iconic islands of Faro and Tavira. It may be a city and the Algarve’s capital but, in true Algarvian style, it retains an easy-going air. That said, there’s more than enough to satisfy culture vultures within the city’s historic walled centre, from museums and historic buildings to the regenerated neighbourhoods of Mouraria and Vila Adentro, the Moorish-influenced old town. Despite its relaxed nature, there’s still plenty in the way of amenities along the Eastern Algarve. Banks, medical centres and
An Ideal Homes Publication
supermarkets are easy to come by, with the latter complemented by regular farmers’ markets where you can fill your shopping basket with local fruit and veg, along with other items including eggs, flowers, honey and Portugal’s iconic piri piri. The East’s distinctive culture is matched by a rich history, and two important sites lie in and around the small town of Estoi, just north east of Faro in the foothills of the Serra do Caldeirão. The first of these is the the lovely historic Palacio de Estoi, a restored palace and one of the Algarve’s finest examples of 19th century Late Baroque architecture, where tourists and locals alike flock to discover its stunning gardens, take 5 o’clock tea in the grand salon, or dine on the picturesque terrace. There’s also the nearby Roman villa of Milreu, where some of the country’s best preserved ruins dating back to 1AD hint at the area’s long and varied past.

Most notable is the Ria Formosa National Park, a unique series of saltwater lagoons that extends from Faro to Tavira. Hailed as one of the seven natural wonders of Portugal, the area teems with migratory birds and other coastal wildlife, including seahorses, dolphins, chameleons and flamingos - a real treat for nature-lovers, whether explored by boat or foot. This being the Algarve, the East also offers an abundance of beaches to enjoy, boasting

Meanwhile, the inland location of São Brás de Alportel acts as a doorway to exploring the Eastern Algrave’s countryside, with a wealth of walking trails catering to all abilities, with everything from casual strolls to heart-rateraising hikes. But perhaps the biggest pleasures are to be found in the simplest of situations. The chiming of church bells as you sit on the town square. A friendly nod from a local fisherman. A breath of sea breeze on yet another warm, blue-sky day. And, above all, taking the time to notice.

With over 300 days of sunshine a year it would be a sin to stay indoors all day in the Algarve, especially for those who enjoy their outdoor activities.

hose who take pleasure in the finer things in life will find the Central Algarve to be the ultimate playground. This is a place where all five senses can be well and truly invigorated, whether sampling the area’s local dishes and world-class cuisine, indulging in some relaxation on the links or in the spa, taking in the award-winning beaches and incredible vistas, or simply enjoying an openair performance surrounded by the scent of the region’s distinctive stone pine trees. No less than 30 minutes out of Faro, the famed Golden Triangle - comprising the exclusive resorts of Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago and Vilamoura - offers luxury living in some of the Algarve’s most prestigious postcodes. Here you’ll find impressive homes built around the standard-setting golf courses that make these resorts so desirable. And that’s not the only draw: between them, the resorts are also home to tennis clubs, nature trails, resident-only beaches,

Portugal’s largest marina (with moorings for over 1,000 vessels), riding schools, private medical centres and even a casino, meaning every possible desire is more than catered for. If retail therapy is more your thing, there’s plenty to satisfy your inner shopaholic. The Quinta Shopping mall located between Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago houses luxury fashion, home and sporting labels, whilst the Designer Outlet Algarve (set to open in 2017 in nearby Loulé) will see hundreds of fashion’s biggest names set up shop in the area. In the Golden Triangle and beyond, foodies can feast to their hearts (or, rather, their stomachs) content at the Central region’s haute cuisine restaurants. The Algarve boasts six Michelin-starred restaurants, all of which are found in this area. Of these six, two have gone one better and achieved

two-star status: Ocean in Armação de Pêra, led by Austrian Executive Chef Hans Neuner, and boutique resort Vila Joya’s restaurant in Albufeira, where Chef Dieter Koschina combines local produce with northern European cooking techniques. Elsewhere you’ll find all manner of international flavours in the area’s other exclusive restaurants, from brunch spots and steakhouses to sushi and champagne bars. Sun worshippers will find themselves spoiled for choice too. The central region boasts the Algarve’s highest concentration of beaches bestowed with a Blue Flag Award (43 in total), an international mark of quality recognising the finest beaches in the world. From long, clifflined beaches that bustle with activity during the summer months to more secluded coves, the only difficulty is choosing which stretch of sand to spend the day on.

It has a picturesque central square featuring a variety of welcoming bars, cafes and restaurants, that serve everything from Italian and Chinese to good old English fish & chips. As well as traditional Portuguese dishes such as piri piri chicken and fresh fish. The city is also served by two beautiful, lifeguard-manned beaches whilst the marina lined with fun, candy-coloured buildings that delight old and young alike - is the starting point for boat trips and diving excursions.

Indoor karting centre Hot Wheels Raceway can be found in the underground carpark of Albufeira’s marina, whilst the Family Golf Park, the annual FIESA sand sculpture festival at Pêra, and the Algarve’s four waterparks - Slide & Splash, Zoomarine, Aqualand and Aquashow - are all no more than a half hour drive away.
Those who take pleasure in the finer things in life will find the Central Algarve to be the ultimate playground, a place where all five senses can be invigorated.
Further west still, a quieter way of life lies waiting in the sleepy former fishing towns of Carvoeiro and Ferragudo. Or, for a culture fix head inland to the historic town of Silves which sits in the shadow of its impressively maintained castle, where an annual medieval festival transports the town back to its Moorish origins as the Algarve’s former capital.

Wherever you find yourself on the Central Algarve, one thing’s for sure: you’re guaranteed to enjoy the best that life - and this beautiful area - has to offer.

WEST ALGARVE
A
n enchanting combination of spectacular scenery, historical heritage and vibrant local communities has made the Western Algarve one of the most soughtafter spots on Portugal’s southern coast. From the sun-drenched beaches to the cooler hills, the bustling towns to the endof-the-world-esque south-west tip, the West continues to charm all who make the trip to this delightful corner of the Algarve. The regions biggest town is Portimão, situated on the bank of the Arade river and facing the fishing village of Ferragudo on the opposite shore. Locals love Portimão for its status as both a busy commercial hub and a brilliant beach town. With a mix of 19th and 20th century architecture, the pretty centre offers a wide range of shops and services, whilst the seafront stretch along Praia da Rocha has a year-round holiday vibe. Meanwhile, the waterfront walkway that runs along the riverside makes for

a relaxing stroll, and also a tempting spot for a bite to eat - it’s here that the towns famous fish restaurants fill the air with the scent of barbecued sardines and other mouthwatering delights. Neighbouring Alvor is a real treasure of a town, favoured by visitors and locals alike for its traditional culture. Alvor’s harbour still serves as a focal point for the local fishing industry, with fresh catches delivered daily to the collection of restaurants that line its narrow streets, whilst a newly-extended boardwalk provides ample opportunity to walk off lazy lunches. Alternatively, for those who like to stretch their legs over a game of golf, the Algarve’s original 18-hole course - located at the five-star Penina Hotel - is just one of the top-notch golfing options nearby. Fifteen minutes further down the coast lies Lagos, one of the most attractive and

historically important towns on the Algarve. Within imposing 14th century walls, the centre is a maze of winding cobbled streets that are home to over 350 bars and restaurants. The two main squares are a hub of activity, especially during the summer months when street performers and local musicians are on hand to entertain, making it a lovely spot to sit and watch the world go by. Meanwhile, down the palm-lined avenida and across the bridge lies the modern marina, where a wealth of bars and cafes provide a popular meeting point for the town’s well-established expat community to come together for a coffee and a catch up or to enjoy a sunset beer. It was from Lagos that many of Portugal’s famed explorers set off for the New World, including Henry the Navigator and local boy Gil Eanes. Nowadays it’s the perfect

Several low-key towns are dotted along this stunning stretch of coastline that are home to small but tightly-knit communities. Praia da Luz has a friendly village feel that makes it popular with young families, whilst in Burgau and Vila do Bispo, yogis, surfers and creative-types live side by side with the local Portuguese population, bringing a gentle bohemian vibe to these typically sleepy towns.
Ferragudo
If you can tear yourself away from the aweinspiring coastline, then the inland town of Monchique is a haven for nature-lovers who prefer the sound of the breeze rustling through leaves to the roar of the ocean. Nestled in the hills high above the coast (and thus a few refreshing degrees cooler), this charming town is perfectly placed to explore the plentiful hiking, biking and nature trails to be found in the surrounding mountain ranges lush, green folds. Further afield still, the remote town of Aljezur feels a magical world away from the buzz of the coastal towns.
