Silves

We spent a lovely day in Silves

Silves

The former cathedral of Silves is also very beautiful

Silves

The castle of Silves is one of my favorite castles of Portugal and very different of most of the castles of the rest of the country

Silves

To me the highest point of our stay in Algarve was the visit to Silves

Carvoeiro - Alfanzina Lighthouse

Because I don't like beach, one of the conditions I had to go to Algarve was that we had to explore a little the surroundings, and so, we also visited Carvoeiro

Quarteira

We also did a quick visit to Quarteira, where my wife stayed with her uncles when she was younger and before I met her

Vilamoura

During our stay in Algarve we visited Vilamoura and a lady of a gift shop offered me this postcard

Armação de Pêra

I'm not a big fan of beach but my wife loves it, so I took her with pleasure to one of the best regions of Portugal for those who love the beach

Armação de Pêra Fortress

Even the fortress of Armação de Pêra goes a little unnoticed

Armação de Pêra

There's not much to see in Armação de Pêra but it was where I got an apartment for free during a week, and we cannot say no to an apartment for free in Algarve

Armação de Pêra

My wife and I spent one week in Armação de Pêra

Algarve

In 2011 I spent my holidays for the first time (and so far the only time) in Algarve.
