Match Algarve rises in the transition area between the coast of the Algarve and the mountains, strategically implanted within a harmonious ensemble of valleys and hills, making it a rare example that combines forest, pinewoods, vineyard and seven large dams.

Nature and Tradition
The Algarve is, for sure, the “the best kept secret of Europe”: the combination of its several aspects is unique and almost rare. Starting from the coastline and its golden cliffs, thin-sand beaches, and moving towards the interior of the Algarve through paths that provide lovely walks and bike rides, the opportunities to enjoy nature and the pure air offered by this location are several.
As a fine example, we have the beaches of D. Ana and Praia do Alemão, considered two of the most beautiful beaches in the world and the Via Algarviana, which is a large pedestrian route that connects Alcoutim to Cabo de S. Vicente, with an extension of 300 km mostly located within the mountain range of the Algarve, where the “bird watching” has been growing.
But the Algarve does not only boast its natural beauty: teams and athletes can also visit museums and observe castles or the Arab and Roman ruins scattered across the entire Algarve region.
