Vilamoura is the name given to an area rather than to any actual town. It is
outstanding in that it is one of the largest single tourist complex in Europe
and covers some 2.000 hectares of land. The land is variable in its
vegetation, some parts covered in pine forests whilst others open recovered
marshland. Vilamoura is a special place, a unique leisure and recreation
resort community where the pace of life is so easy it feels like summer all
year round.
Designed from the start to be self-sufficient, Vilamoura is ideally located,
features a wide choice of prime accommodation, offers the commercial
structure for day-to-day needs and is bursting with sporting and leisure
facilities for the whole family. It is a place for rest and relaxation but also for
pursuing active pastimes and sports; a friendly and safe residential haven,
but also a vibrant and exciting night-life centre. It is a luxury hotel, a private
villa or a serviced apartment for the visitor, but also a home to the resident
and seasonal population. It is Portuguese, but also truly cosmopolitan. Away
from the hectic pace and the stress of the modern world, all who visit are
revitalised by the lifestyle, the convenience and the hospitality of this truly
special place.
First and foremost, Albufeira is famed for
its beaches, for the countless shades and
tones of its rocks and cliffs. This is a place
where people live to the rhythim of the great
holiday destinations, sunbathing during the
day and at sunset flocking to enjoy the
restaurants, bars and discos that enliven
the night-time hours. Just a few miles
inland and everything changes. The green
of the countryside is dotted with almond,
fig, orange and pine trees and decorated
chimneys stand out against the ochre of
tiled roofs.
Bucolic villages invite you to experience a
way of life rooted in the traquility of nature,
to add another dimension to your holidays.
Nightlife, sunshine, beaches and lots and
lots of animation are just some of the
guaranteed features of Albufeira. Here the
life has the rhythm of a tourist metropolis
and, as the sun goes down, meet the sun
lovers at the many discos, restaurants and
bars. Sports are also a good reason to
come and stay in Albufeira. Tennis, golf,
water sports and much more make the
delights of the most demanding sportsmen.



Almost the entire municipality of Estepona is dominated by the
majestic Sierra Bermeja range. This massif is formed of volcanic rocks
known as periodite, a mineral rich in iron oxide, that imparts a
characteristic reddish tinge to the terrain. The Paraje Natural (Nature
Park) of Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja (highest point 1,449 metres) is
located in this setting. Here are found the largest masses of periodite
in southern Europe. This natural space, with an area of 1,236 hectares,
also preserves the only forest of Spanish firs on this type of rock.
The preceding may give some idea of this area’s extraordinary
ecological value. This translates visually into an beautiful scenery,
especially at the highest elevations, which command an extremely
broad panoramic view encompassing not only the coast but also the
Atlas mountain range on the neighbouring continent of Africa.
In the lower regions of the municipality the waters that come down from
the mountains have formed several short rivers in the eastern part,
including the Padrón, Castor, and Velerín, on whose banks citrus and
fruit trees grow, while in the west, and in some areas that meet the
sea, one again sees fruit orchards and, even more frequently, broad
fields of grain, low brush and grazing lands. This is in frank contrast to
the coastal strip, where, besides the village itself, endless urban
developments have sprung up, as is to be expected of a first class
tourist locality.
