The winter of 2012 has been a particularly cold, clear and dry one in the Algarve and orange growers are very nervous.  After a few days of rain in early November the weather cleared and there&#8217;s been barely a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can&#8217;t help but notice just how many homes and commercial buildings across the Algarve are topped with ornate chimneys, whether working or not. These chimneys are a unique feature of the Algarve&#8217;s culture that have been brought forward from it&#8217;s Moorish past into modern times. When Spain and the Algarve were conquered by Muslims [...]]]></description>

These large, exotic birds are a regular feature of the far eastern reaches of the Algarve. And yet, for me, they had remained elusive until this trip. They provide easy birdwatching for those [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The entrances to many places across the Algarve are inviting, artistic and visually appealing, whether they are public buildings or private ones. In some cases the doorways are old and covered in a patina of paint, dust and other grunge. But mostly I find people simply &#8216;do up&#8217; their entrances to entice and appeal, to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was talking with some friends this morning. They have both given themselves the luxury of experiencing one of my retreats. And they are very clear that a retreat and a vacation are not synonymous, even though many women think they are. Now don&#8217;t get me wrong. I&#8217;m a big believer in taking vacations as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nespera By Any Other Name . . . On my first several trips to the Algarve I kept noticing a fruit tree that I&#8217;d never seen before. It seems to grow everywhere, out of cracks and crevices, and each Spring these small trees are loaded with apricot sized and coloured fruit. Turns out it&#8217;s what [...]]]></description>

Perhaps your preference is for a relaxing massage, maybe even one in a glorious setting overlooking the sea. Or you may be more of an esthetics person &#8211; pedicure, manicure, facial.
