The Algarve region possesses a wealth of beauties, both on land and in the sea, within its extensive Atlantic territory in the south of Portugal. Its global prestige is owed to its beaches and temperate waters, the natural and edible resources of Ria Formosa, and the hilly surrounding areas of Espinhaço de Cão, Monchique, and Caldeirão, populated by towns, villages, and places with ancestral traditions. The Via Algarviana, or Algarve Way, is a walking route where hikers can discover the more rustic interior of the region, full of riches and history, known as the barrocal (garrigue). The contrast between forest and coastline, with nature setting the pace of days, allows a healthy modus vivendi inspired by the Roman habits of conviviality associated with the pleasure of a shared meal.
