The best of nature for your pleasure
The diversity of its nature is certainly one of the great strengths of the Algarve. It is so easy to move between differing environments, each with a range of nuances on a similar theme of natural beauty. From the coast up to the hills, there is a wide range of landscapes to explore, each of them special in their own way.
The coastline is home to an ecological system of amazing biodiversity - from the indigenous birds with their imposing nests through to the molluscs and crustaceans that have long supplied the regional shellfish sector - perfect for some close-up observation over the course of a long stroll.
From the open sandy beaches leading up to sudden cliffs, the vivid greens contrast with the deep browns of the Barrocal plains, opening up the doors onto another kind of Algarve, covered in orange, fig, carob and almond trees. This is where the walking takes on a more challenging nature. We recommend that you take to these landscapes with their differing geological characteristics dependent on the underlying schists and granites, in order to enjoy the calm of these hills with your friends and family.
