The Algarve’s cuisine is famed for its
variety of locally-caught fish and seafood. The shellfish in particular are an
absolute must.
Algarvean sweets are true works of art. Made with eggs and locally-grown
almonds, figs and carob, they are absolutely irresistible. Try the Dom Rodrigos,
morgados, marzipan shapes, fig cheese and many others.
