LOCATION
Central Algarve
The central Algarve is more cosmopolitan and is a fantastic place to live, with superb amenities and services, large shopping areas and excellent sports and leisure facilities. It also offers a wide variety of accessible beaches, nature reserves and numerous golf courses. This region enjoys an ideal microclimate, partly created by the protection of the mountain range of the inland Algarve.
Silves
Silves, a serene town nestled among picturesque hills adorned with lively orange groves, is known for its enchanting ancient castle that stands imposingly above the landscape. The town proudly rests beside the charming Arade River, offering its residents and visitors the pleasure of a municipal swimming pool, a state-of-the-art gym, and a vibrant daily market. Culinary experiences are abundant in Silves, with a wide array of restaurants to choose from, including the highly regarded Marisqueira Rui, famous for its exquisite seafood dishes. Every year, Silves transforms into a scene from the Middle Ages when it becomes the host of the prestigious Medieval Fair, attracting visitors from near and far to revel in the magic of a bygone era. The history of Silves is equally fascinating. With its origins dating back thousands of years, the town has witnessed the rise and fall of various civilizations. In ancient times, Silves was a thriving Phoenician settlement, followed by Roman and Moorish regimes. The Moors, in particular, left a profound cultural and architectural influence, seen prominently in the evocative silhouette of the castle that adorns Silves' skyline. During the Middle Ages, Silves reached the pinnacle of its prosperity. As the capital of the Algarve region, it flourished as a bustling commercial and cultural hub. The castle served as a symbol of power and an important defensive structure during this time, protecting the town from invasions and sieges. However, the town's prosperous era eventually came to an end with the Christian Reconquista in the 13th century. As the Christian forces gained control, many of the Moors were expelled or converted to Christianity. Silves gradually lost its status as the region's capital, and its importance waned in the following centuries. Today, Silves stands as a testament to its rich history, with its well-preserved castle and a nostalgic atmosphere enveloping the town.
