Algarve - Portugal

After an holiday without receiving cards, it's always good to get some on the next day, and today I got a surprise card sent by Ana "ninocas".

Algarve is the southernmost region of mainland Portugal.

"In the 1960s the Algarve became a very popular destination for tourists, mainly from Britain. It has since become a common destination for Germans, Dutch and Irish people. Many of these tourists own their own property in the region. There are Algarve-based English-written publications and newspapers specifically addressed to this community. In addition to the natural beauties and plenty of beaches, the Algarve has invested in the creation of a network of golf courses. Well-known beaches in the Algarve range from Praia da Luz to Armação de Pêra." - in: wikipedia.
