ALGARVE INFORMATION
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).
