=========================================================== Below more of the great ALGARVE-MAPS and this a great geographical map of the Algarve.Note the Monchique area.This is a must to visit by all who visit the region.Best visited on a coach trip to really appreciate the scenery going up and coming back down.The road is a bit like a Swiss mountain pass route;where you sometimes wonder why the vehicle does not fall off the edge. The Monchique mountain scenery is spectacular and mysterious and acts as a background for so many golf courses,hotels and holiday resorts.We will be doing a dedicated Monchique page soon;it does need its own! There are quite a few more mountain areas as you progress eastwards towards Spain.Not as massive as Monchique but still wonderfull to visit and experience the real inland Algarve.It is something you must do if at all possible.The coast off course is the magic draw with its rugged and spectacular coastal scenery in the west of the region and then the flat sandy beaches of Central and Eastern Algarve. ALGARVE-MAPS will hopefully help you to imagine the Sandy beaches which have no superiors anywhere.Combined with all the pictures on this site we hope the maps give you another more imaginative insight to this fantastically beautifull and geographically diverse region.The local Portuguese people of the Algarve have made tourist hospitality something rather special. The same applies as you go further inland the hospitality of these people is amazing. We continue all the time to look for good and unusual ALGARVE-MAPS to bring some reality of the region to this site.You can use the map below with the chart at the bottom of this page to plot how far from Faro any town is.Or the distance between any two towns of your choosing. 
The inland Algarve has every bit as much to offer as the coast.As you can see on the map above there are numerous lake areas which are laden with wildlife.There is nothing here to pollute the waters and it shows when you visit.You can see there are numerous rivers running down from the higher grounds and again the waters are crystal clear and undamaged by pollution.If you do manage to tour inland it is something you will not forget whatever time of year it may be.Even in their wintertime you can find superb sunny days to get out of your vehicle and explore the wildflower covered mountain slopes and river banks.In Spring there is just an explosion of wildflower colours Hikers and bikers will love the magic of inland Algarve and activity holidays are easy to find and are well catered for. Below DISTANCES CHART..Just to make life even easier we now have a distance between towns chart on our ALGARVE-MAPS page.So now if you want to know how far it is from Faro and the airport to ,for example Lagos,just look it up on the chart below. Part of our sevice to you is to always be thinking about what will be usefull to our customers.What could be more usefull to the visitor to the Algarve than to be able to plot routes and the kilometres you will need to cover to get to your destinations.
