Comment from Philippa Burne
When you think of holidaying in Portugal, everyone thinks of that wonderful Atlantic Coast, primarily of the Algarve. But this region is now overrun with tourists and has lost some of its charm. If you’re happy to swim in fresh water rather than the sea, be one of the first to discover Alqueva Lake.
