Area Description
EASTERN ALGARVE GOLF TOURS
There are fewer courses in the Eastern Algarve, since most are located
to the west of Faro, near the Spanish border, however this area is an
excellent choice for Algarve golf tours. One of the Algarve’s oldest
cities, located at the mouth of the River Gilao, Tavira is a fishing port
dating from Moorish times. Nearby is one of Portugal’s most important
nature reserves, the 70,000 ha Reserva do Sapal, one of the few parts
of the Algarve where the natural environment has been preserved and the
cultural and historical heritage is much in evidence. Those looking for
a quieter holiday, with an emphasis on nature, might consider the Eastern
Algarve as a resort destination for Algarve golf tours. Here, the courses
have been well planned, have spectacular surroundings and are located
near a range of good hotels, only a short distance from the airport. In
the province of Huelva, just across the border in Spain, is the Costa
de la Luz with some great golf courses that make excellent alternative
Algarve golf tours.
Longshot Golf Holidays have a collection of great value Algarve golf
tours that also includes the Western
Algarve and Central Algarve.
