One of the most famous products from Algarve are the oranges. I'm not a fruit kind of person but I really like Algarve's oranges. They're juicy, very sweet, super delicious!! Vera and Sofia didn't send me any oranges, only these cards.

Sweet oranges were brought from China to Europe by the Portuguese in the 16th century.
The Algarve produces between 300,000 and 400,000 tonnes of citrus fruits each year, and it is hardly surprising that the oranges grown here account for about 70% of the total oranges grown in Portugal – long days of hot sunshine, adequate water supplies and good soil ensure fine crops. - in: https://algarveblog.net/2013/01/13/o-is-for-oranges/

Oranges make the body more resistant to infection, give vitality to the gums and preserve youth. They fight stress and allergies, reduce the rate of cholesterol and the risk of some cancers. - in: http://www.algarveorange.com/
