Algarve History
The Algarve region of Portugal is rich in history. Romans, Muslims
and Christians have occupied the Algarve throughout the ages but
five hundred years of Moorish influence have left the most
recognizable imprint upon the region. Algarve is derived from the
Moorish term: Al-Gharb, meaning The West. In fact, many Algarvian
town and village names have their origins in the Moorish occupation
of the territory, which occurred from the 8th to the 13th century.
Algarve Climate
The Algarve enjoys the best climate in Europe. With only a short
period of rainfall ( between November and March) and long hours of
sunshine (the highest in Europe). During the summer months,
temperatures are high, with water temperatures of around 22°C. The
Algarve climate is influenced by continental Europe, North Africa,
the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean.
Algarve Travel
Due to its location, bordered by both land and sea, the Algarve
enjoys good transport connections. Various international airlines,
including the low cost carriers, fly regularly to the Algarve, via
Faro International Airport. The Algarve also benefits from a
recently modernised road network, making road travel around the
region uncomplicated. Rail travellers in the region have easy access
to the Portuguese rail service (CP - Comboios de Portugal).
