  The attractions of Algarve, the southernmost region of Portugal, are well-known: its glorious climate, beautiful beaches, and remnants of African flavour, after centuries of Moorish occupation. This guide provides detailed coverage of Algarve and also of the province of Alentejo, south of Lisbon. Alentejo has stunning landscapes, ancient walled towns, castles, and a rich history. This touring guide contains practical information, including recommendations for where to stay and eat. It has introductory sections on history, flora and fauna, green issues, food and wine. The book is illustrated throughout with colour photographs.
