Faro -- Turism

Traces of prehistoric human society are clearly visible in Portugal’s southernmost region. Begin with a visit to the Neolithic remains of the 4000-year-old Pedra do Alagar dolmen in Ameixial (Loulé), and the Pedras Altas dolmen in Cachopo (Tavira). After that follow a Roman road to Sagres, the departure point for the 15th century saga of the Portuguese Discoveries.

The Romans left many bridges, roads and villas. Discover the ruins of Boca do Rio in Budens, Cerro da Vila in Vilamoura, and the Milreu Roman Villa at Estói.

As well as Moorish castles, the signs of Arab influence are still to be seen in the region’s traditional architecture. It’s not hard to find small groups of houses with white walls and ornamented chimneys. The roof patios and terraces on many houses, perfect in summer, are a throwback to the Moors who reigned over the Algarve for around five centuries.

To all of this cultural heritage you can also add castles, churches and monuments built by Portuguese kings. For evidence of the golden age of the Portuguese Discoveries, be sure to visit Sagres Fortress and the town of Lagos.

If you want to know more about the culture and art, you’ll always find a museum or information centre in towns or at historic monuments.

A hotel where it is impossible to find two identical rooms because everything at the Claris was hand made.

Situated in the heart of Nueva Andalucía, in the so-called Golf Valley, is the Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, one of the oldest courses on the Costa del Sol. The intense professional activity of Robert Trent Jones, one of the most famous golf course designers, reached a peak in 1969 with the opening of the Real Club de Golf Las Brisas. The designer created a course which demands accuracy on the part of players and where it is not enough to hit long shots, but rather you have to use your head. The layout contains a lot of water hazards, ten artificial lakes, ample protection from bunkers and greens which are mostly raised. All of this lies in a unique natural setting.
