Water activities are world class here in the algarve.They are carried out all along the coast but the west end is the favourite.The west is stuck right out in the breezy part of the Atlantic ocean.The coast is really rugged on this end.Bearing testament to the violent waves ripping into the shoreline.This is the place for the avid surfers and wind surfers.Just about every form of water activity is carried out on this wild end.The less adventurous or inexperienced can find gentler conditions in the central and East Algarve regions.

Formula 1.Bernie ecclestone is apparently working hard to bring the Racing back to the Algarve.It seems likely it will happen.Tennis courts abound all over the region.So you will always be able to get a game but for some reason the game does not seem to be that big with the Portuguese.Football.Now most people must be aware that this is virtually the Portuguese religion.You will always be able to find a pitch to have a game.You will find seven a side hard football pitches everywhere.Very often they have floodlights.This availability of pitches explains why the Portuguese tend to be so gifted at football.Fishing.This is the place for fishing.Obviously the Atlantic is available all along the Algarve.So sea fishing is a big pastime and you will never have any trouble getting hold of a boat owner to take you out.The region is also a paradise for river fishing.The rivers are not polluted by industry.Tourism is the only major industry here.There are many nature reserves for the angler to explore.In particular the Ria Formosa in the East Algarve.More SPORTS will be added soon.
Big Game Fishing
This is a very exciting sport to have a go at.The sheer excitement when you find you have hooked a monster and the amazing pulse throbbing thrill of the chase,is hard to exaggerate.If you have never tried it give yourself a real treat.

Big Game / Shark Fishing
Fisherman 70 €
Spectator 40 €
Child (up to 12 years old) 50%
