Sehr schön!
Die Algarve ist ein fantastisches Ziel für Wanderer. Sehr idyllische Dörfer, eines reizender als das andere, vor allem Tavira hat uns richtig gut gefallen. Aber auch Santa Luzia mit seinen bunten Fischerboten ist sehenswert. Das Hotel (Maria Nova) ist ausgezeichnet, sauber und nettes Personal. Alles in allem eine super Reise - klare Empfehlung!
