Away from the busy beaches, the Algarve has a countryside full of
interest and beauty, quietly awaiting discovery. From flowers
and fountains, hilltops and history, to windmills and
water-mills, this book will 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. But don't think for one moment that we have turned our
backs on and ignored the beautiful and rugged western coastline.
Wherever it is still unspoilt and free from development, the
authors have incorporated it into a walk. |
