Wherever you look, the colours of the mountains and sea are always with you, creating the impression of a water-colour dotted with highlights of gold, green and blue. The region is an extensive and pleasant one, with a Mediterranean climate, marked by the smell of the sea at low tide and the scent of wild flowers. A stroll through the tangled web of narrow streets, alleys and steps to be found away from the coast is the best way of getting to know this part of the region. But you can also easily lose yourself in the vastness of the coastal strip. Here the backdrop is composed of some of Europe's most beautiful beaches, from where you can admire the rocky coastline and the playful shadows they cast on the sand.	Europe's premier golf area. There are currently twenty-five courses in the space of 100 miles of coastline, with more under construction. All Algarve courses are within one and a half hours' drive of Faro International Airport. Over the last few years the Portuguese Open has been hosted variously at Penina, Vila Sol and São Lourenzo, all of which may be included in the list of top European championship courses. Warm playing conditions and immaculately manicured fairways and greens are the norm in the Algarve. » Check out Algarve golf courses list !	The Algarve continues to consolidate its position as a world ranking golf destination. It has been announced that the Portugal Masters Tournament will be played for three consecutive years at Vilamoura’s Victoria Golf Course starting in October 2007. The Portuguese Government has also announced that it intends to approve the doubling of the number of golf courses and five star hotels in Algarve. It is these types of initiatives that allow the Algarve to continue to guarantee its privileged position in the world of golf.

1. The Lisbon Area	2. Golf Courses	3. The Grouth	4. Recommended Reservations
Lisboa is the capital of Portugal and lies on the north bank of the Tagus Estuary, on the European Atlantic coast. It is the westernmost city in continental Europe. Greater Lisboa has an area of approximately 1,000 km2. The city lies more or less in the centre of the country, approximately 300 km from the Algarve in the south and 400 km from the northern border with Spain. Lisboa offers a wide variety of options to the visitor, including beaches, countryside, mountains and areas of historical interest only a few kilometres away from the city centre.	Less than 50 km from the city you’ll find ‘Ribagolfe’ - the most recent golf project at Herdade da Vargem Fresca, with two courses of 18 holes surrounded by the Ribatejo countryside. On the south bank of the River Tagus, you’ll discover a real challenge at Aroeira II, part of a vast tourist complex. Even closer to the Capital, the Quinta da Marinha Oitavos course in Cascais is another great alternative. Designed by Arthur Hills, it is the first course in Europe and the second in the world to be awarded the Audubon International "Certified Signature Sanctuary/Gold". » Check out Lisbon golf courses list !	The growth of Lisbon's "Golf Coast" over the last decade hasn't gone unnoticed: This year it was voted Europe's best golf destination by the more than 1,000 members of the International Association of Golf Tour Operators.Lisbon beat out nominees in Scotland, Ireland and Spain and emerged from the shadow of the Algarve, which copped the award last year.With about two dozen courses, the Lisbon region doesn't have the golfing quantity of the Algarve, but it can match its Portuguese rival in quality on the course and exceed it off.
