These photos are only a small impression of the beauty of the Algarve.
The Algarve has a rich culture and a beautiful nature, with a mild climate and a
very friendly population. This could be your future home, because who was once
in the Algarve loves to come back!
Monte das Rosas is situated on a one kilometer distance from the main road IC1
from Albufeira to Lisbon. This road leads from the north to the south through the Algarve,
that's what brings the east Algarve as well as the west Algarve in near distance.  The distance to Sao Marcos da Serra is 3km and to S.B. de Messines it is 10km. The town Messines has an important function in this area of the Algarve. Sao Marcos has some small shops, a bank, a post office and all sorts of restaurants and cafés, were you also will find the locale people.   | On the ultimate WestPoint of Europe is Cabo São Vicente. You can reach the west coast very quick through the Serra de Monchique (55km), or the Highway A22 that goes from east to the west through the Algarve.   São Marcos da Serra belongs to the district Silves. This old Moorish city organizes many festivals for the tourists. Every year the second week of august there are medieval feasts where the whole town turns into a Moorish fortress. There is dancing and everywhere you can eat special dishes.   |
