Explora los sabores auténticos de Algarve en una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable.
The Algarve, located in the extreme south of Portugal, is a region blessed with more than 300 days of sunshine a year and a coastline of breathtaking beauty. It is traditionally divided into the Barlavento (west), characterized by its iconic rock formations and hidden coves, and the Sotavento (east), with its extensive sand islands and the labyrinth of channels of the Ria Formosa. Beyond its world-famous beaches, the Algarve offers towns steeped in Moorish history, an inland mountain range perfect for hiking and a hospitality that invites you to enjoy life at a leisurely pace.

The cuisine of the Algarve is an ode to the Atlantic, complemented by the flavors of the fig tree, almond tree and carob tree inside.
The star dish. A stew of fish, seafood, potatoes and vegetables steamed in an airtight copper pot (cataplana) that preserves all the aromas of the sea.
Small grilled chicken, very crispy and seasoned with a spicy chilli sauce (piri-piri). Originally from the town of Guia, it is an essential classic.
A soupy rice cooked with fresh razor clams, typical of the Tavira and Sotavento area. Intense sea flavor in every spoonful.
Especially popular in Portimão. They are grilled whole with coarse salt and served on a slice of village bread that absorbs all the fat from the fish.
Small clams sautéed with olive oil, lots of garlic, cilantro and a touch of lemon. The perfect appetizer in front of the beach.
A traditional dish of humble origins made from corn flour porridge mixed with seafood or torreznos.
A powerful distillate made from the fruits of the strawberry tree collected in the Sierra de Monchique. It is usually taken as a digestive after coffee.
Bitter almond liqueur that is served very cold, usually with ice and a few drops of lemon juice. Sweet and refreshing.

The region has four Designations of Origin (Lagos, Portimão, Lagoa and Tavira). Their soft reds and fresh whites stand out, pairing perfectly with fish.

Be careful with the currents on the beaches on the west coast (Sagres/Aljezur), which are much stronger than in the south. Don't get too close to the edge of the cliffs, as the limestone rock can be unstable. If you rent a car, make sure you understand the electronic toll system on the A22 motorway (Via do Infante). It is recommended to reserve a table at popular coastal restaurants at least 24 hours in advance during summer.
