Superbike in the Algarve

14-16 October the Superbike motor races of the Algarve will be held in the International Autodrome in the Algarve. Temperatures still above the 25 degrees, so ideal to watch some racing in the Algarve!

Karting Algarve and racing Algarve is fun for the whole family, combining leisure and competition. Great fun for families, children, friends and companies.

International Autodrome Algarve

The international Autodrome Algarve is located just outside Portimao and offers racing Algarve as well as karting Algarve. Designed to be one of the best and most modern circuits in Europe, it has 32 different layouts and is FIA and FIM approved. State-of-the-art facilities together with an amazing track make the AIA one of the best circuits in the world. Designed to be one of the best and most modern circuits in Europe, the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve will benefit from the best conditions of safety and comfort both for drivers and the public. The Autodrome offers a safe and perfect place for racing Algarve and karting Algarve.

Racing Algarve

As motor sport is the key component of the project, it has been overseen since the beginning by the world governing bodies, the FIA and the FIM. The plans for the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve were approved by the FIA for Formula 1 and by the FIM for Super Bikes. As a matter of interest, the F1 version is different from the motorcycling circuit circuit, a good indication of how detailed the project is and the extent to which the sense of spectacle will be maximized in races for both types of vehicle.

The total capacity of the racing Algarve circuit will be 100,000 spectators, with 15,000 seats in the main stand and the remaining seats in other stands, and standing room in areas around the track. There will be a spectacular view of the circuit from all of these vantage points.

There will also be VIP boxes providing a range of services such as catering, above the pits and in the main stand. The VIP Tower is the project trademark.
It is planned that major races Algarve in the world motor racing and motorcycling championships will be held at the circuit, with the World Superbike Championship and the World Endurance Championship being firm fixtures. These races are broadcast worldwide on more than 80 television channels reaching more than 2 billion viewers, thus ensuring unparalleled publicity for the Algarve and for Portugal.

Events in the National Motor Racing and Motorcycling championships will also take place at the Algarve International Race Circuit. That means spectacular racing Algarve.

Karting Algarve

Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve is one of Europe’s largest kart circuits which can operate three tracks simultaneously. It even has a track for children up to 6 years of age who like to go karting Algarve. The venue also has a restaurant, boxes and shops and more than 50 different Kart categories for hire. In addition the track can be used for driving courses similar to those run by the racetrack as well as driving courses for karts. There will be no lack of official races, karting and championship trials and private competitions.

Karting Algarve is not only for competitions. The kart track is also a favorite place for testing, with artificially wet zones, to complement the existing Autódromo Internacional do Algarve. Companies and teams will find this the ideal place for a variety of events, whether they want to hire meeting rooms, launch a new product or simply hold ‘team-building’ exercises. Karting Algarve is fun for lots of people and companies.

The Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve is, without doubt, a place of leisure and entertainment for fans, companies, families and children, who will all find a place of great fun here. For racing Algarve or karting Algarve.

Extremely clear water, spectacular cliffs with hidden creeks, endless sand beaches, protected by dunes and a mild Atlantic breeze make this place so special.

Blue flag beaches

Sun and sea with quality and in safety.

With the highest number of beaches attaining the distinction of the Blue Flag, the Algarve has collected almost 50 of these awards, increasing year-on-year, confirming the region’s commitment to quality tourism.

This award is given out annually to beaches and leisure resorts which fulfill the comprehensive set of criteria set out by the European Foundation for Environmental Education. The criteria are based on the following standards: Environmental management, safety and amenities, and in the case of beaches, water quality.

With respect to leisure resorts, the award goes further, with the inclusion of management and environmental education and information. The Algarve has also been successful in this area, with its marinas achieving this mark of quality.

Blue or Gold flags make the 3000 hours of sun a year and the 200km of coastline with unspoilt landscapes and dream beaches even more appealing because they can be enjoyed in total safety. Enjoy them!

Entrance is free – just come dressed in white.

Noite Branca or “White Night” first took place in Loulé in 2007, and is based on the White Night concept which started in Paris and is now held in cities all over Europe. Thousands will flock to one of Portugal’s biggest chill-out events, with Loulé’s streets decorated in white, and shops and restaurants staying open late, with special white window displays and discounts to customers wearing white.

The central part of the city will be transformed into a huge “living room” with the colour white being the connecting factor between the different areas, music stages and themed features. There will be live music, international DJs, street entertainers and eye-catching urban art, and you’ll find pianists, saxophonists, jazz bands, jugglers, fire eaters, human statues, clowns, magicians and a host of other entertainers, all dressed in white.

Street entertainment

Excellent Sardines and grilled fish are available everywhere, in the Algarve, but Portimao is famous for this. Lots of restaurants specialise in this delicacy: charcoal grilled , seasoned with coarse sea-salt, eaten from a slice of bread, and washed down with red wine (or beer). This is the way we eat Sardines! So not surprising that every year Portimao hosts the Sardine Festival! This year the festival starts on Friday 6th August till 15th August, from 6 till 12 pm.

Portimão’s Sardine Festival is one of the highlights of the summer with 10 nights of entertainment, tasty food, market stalls and music. From 8pm to 9.30pm every night there will be local and regional bands playing with the main show starting at 10pm.

Spring in the Algarve, don’t miss it!

Field of Poppies


Spring in the Algarve is something you cannot miss! Fabulous displays of wildflowers that colonise every available piece of Algarve ground no matter how small. In Portugal you do not need to travel far to see wildflowers. In the Algarve in springtime, the flowers are everywhere- on roadside verges, in abandoned and fallow farmland, in the forests and beside the sea.

We all know the Algarve from the beautiful cliffs and coves and beautiful white sandy beaches, but within a short drive of the coast there is a very different Algarve to be experienced. In the spring you see millions upon millions daisies, poppies and many other colourful flowers…like the Wild Roses (Cistus) in the mountains.
