Algarve’s Culinary Pulse
Algarve’s cuisine sings with fresh, local flavors, a perfect harmony for your retreat. Here’s what awaits:
Ocean’s Gifts: Fresh seafood steals the show—grilled fish, juicy clams with garlic, or a rich cataplana stew.
Sun-Drenched Harvest: Sweet tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers gleam in olive oil, or grilled veggies burst with summer’s kiss.
Herbal Whisper: Rosemary, thyme, and oregano lace every bite with fragrance.
Fiery Edge: A dash of piri-piri sauce nods to North Africa’s heat.
Sweet Finale: Pastel de Nata or almond-fig-carob cake crowns the meal.
