"THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE"
Encouraged
by the superb climate and year-round sunshine the Algarve is home to some
of the finest competitive
and recreational facilities in Europe. Perhaps most strongly linked with
golf and around 20 courses along its length,
many are internationally recognised such as the Sao Lorenzo in Quinta do
Lago,Penina near Alvor
and the breathtaking holes along the cliff tops at Vale do Lobo.
Tennis is also popular with several coaching centres as well as a multitude
of public courts in most towns and resorts.
There are also several riding centres offering lessons, hourly hacks and
all day treks; watersports on many of
the larger beaches and even a karting track near Almancil.
Many
resorts feature fitness centres and health clubs with gym facilities, saunas
and massage as well as
beauty treatments. A popular destination for professional teams and clubs,
you'll often find football and cricket
facilities among the sailing, shooting, bowling and fishing opportunities
available.
