Algarve - Portugal's Sunny South

Type: Interesting

Description:
The fine sandy dream beaches with their bizarre rock formations are the trademark of the Algarve. The southernmost of the Portuguese provinces also scores with an exciting hinterland and pleasant climate. Andrea Grießmann travels the area between Olhao, Cabo de São Vicente and the beaches on the west coast. Together with her guide Michael Dias, she visits the Igreja de Santo António in Lagos with its richly gilded altar, the old monastery in Monchique and the Fortaleza de Sagres fortress at Cabo de Sao Vicente. She strolls through the farmers' market in Loulé, presents Sofia von Mentzingen's donkey project, goes birdwatching in the Lagoa dos Salgados wetland with German ornithologist Georg Schreier and hikes a section of the old pilgrimage route Via Algarviana. She sails along the coast, learns surfing and tests the alleged last bratwurst before America at Europe's southwesternmost point.
