History and tourist attractions of the Algarve
The Algarve region, in the southwest, is the main summer tourism destination in the country and the residence chosen by many foreigners.
One of its main cities is Albufeira, with around 31 thousand inhabitants.
This former fishing village is now an important hotel center, with its properties painted white in a pleasant contrast with the sea and beaches.
Another unmissable location in the region is the small and very charming Carvoeiro, a village with less than 3 thousand inhabitants in the municipality of Lagoa.
Its small beach makes for a beautiful setting at sunset and dusk.
After the photographic task, it is rewarding to get lost in its alleys, bars and restaurants.
The cliffs along the Algarve coast are another big attraction, with photogenic formations interspersed with several small beaches for you to explore and relax.
The Cabo de São Vicente Lighthouse from 1846, located in Vila dos Bispos, parish of Sagres, is one of the lighthouses known as "from the end of the world" given its geographical position in the distant tip of the extreme southwest of Portugal. The sunset is stunning!
