The Algarve boasts some of the world's best golf courses and a wealth of top quality sports facilities which attract both holidaymakers and professional sportsmen and women alike.

Holiday books to read

Other interesting novels are The Anarchist Banker which Eugenio Lisboa edited and The sin of father Amaro (Carcanet). For an insight into the culture and geography of Portugal Marion Kaplan - The Portuguese: The land and its people is a good place to start.

Films to see before a holiday in Portugal
Perhaps the best known of the films set in Portugal is an old classic; The Boys from Brazil starring Laurence Olivier and Gregory Peck. More recent is the Belle Epoque with Penelope Cruz. The Lisbon story by Wim Wenders is hard to get hold of but much admired by lovers of Lisbon.
