Algarve (Landscapes Countryside Guides S.) - Softcover
'Is this the same Algarve', you may ask, 'as the Algarve of high-rise hotels, fine beaches and a coastline so famous that there is no need to look further?' Such is the beauty of the coastline, that few visitors look for more - but Brian and Eileen Anderson (the authors of this guidebook) did. They say, "we found a countryside full of interest and beauty, quietly awaiting discovery. From flowers and fountains, hilltops and history, to windmills and water-mills, we can set your feet wandering to find them all". There are car tours, too, to get you out and about, searching out little-known points of interest - like the huge rose compass (rosa dos ventos) on the barren promontory of Sagres, where Prince Henry the Navigator founded his school of navigation, or the Moorish castle and old Roman bridge at Paderne. A guidebook that will add a new dimension to your Algarve holiday.
