The western Algarve is also known as “Rocky Algarve” due to the impressive limestone rocks dominating the coastline. Small romantic bays, hidden creeks and caves formed by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, accessible only by boat, are surrounded by rugged rock formations. This scenario is interrupted by several large bays with sandy beaches.
According to World Travel Awards, Algarve is the Europe's Leading Golf Destination 2013 and 2014. There are over 25 top-class courses in the Algarve, most of which were designed by legendary names such as Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, Jack Nicklaus and Christy O'Connor Jnr.

Beach Trip Portugal - Armacao de Pera - The Algarve
Armacao de Pera is one of the hidden treasures on the Algarve coast of Portugal. Frequented mainly by the locals and expats of various nations who call Portugal home, this fabulous stretch of beach has some fantastic views, activities and a wide selection of good food.
A compilation of a couple of day trips to Portugal's Armacao de Pera, located on the coast in the Algarve. There's a strip of this beach that is pretty touristy, down by the hotels, but many of the area locals also frequent Armacao because it is off the main tourist strip.
Beach volleyball, Pedro's beach bar, tractors and cave-tour boats all add to the character of this beach - and the waves can get pretty decent, too.
Enjoy!

Aljezur Portugal (HD)
ALJEZUR, é uma vila portuguesa pertencente ao distrito de Faro, localizada em pleno Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina. É uma terra de origens remotas, habitada desde os tempos pré-históricos, cuja antiguidade é atestada pelos muitos vestígios arqueológicos que têm sido encontrados. A zona histórica que se estende pela encosta, oferece uma vista particular de ruas estreitas com casas caiadas e vãos coloridos em volta das janelas. Do património arquitectónico destacam-se: O Castelo de Aljezur, construído pelos árabes no sec.X e que actualmente se encontra em estado de ruína, conservando ainda as muralhas e duas torres, de onde se observa em toda a volta uma vista panorâmica deslumbrante; A Igreja da Misericórdia, no centro histórico da vila; o Museu de Arte Sacra, instalado no edifício do antigo Hospital da Misericórdia; a Casa Museu Pintor José Cercas na Rua do Castelo e ainda a Igreja Matriz de Nossa Sra de Alva, também chamada Igreja Nova. Fora da vila, a costa de Aljezur com mais de 40 Km de extensão, é um tesouro repleto de vida marinha e belíssimas praias, quase em estado selvagem, frequentadas principalmente por praticantes de surf.by*carl0spais*2013
