How to get to Almansor Tivoli Hotel

 

Algarve an aquarelle in shades of montain and sea where warm brush strokes of golden shores mix gently with the scent of wild flowers. A region renowned for its sea-smelling colourful fishing boats. A paradise with the most beautiful shores in Europe all fringed by rocks that were sculpted by the sea and immense golden sands that extend far and wide.

A region renowed not only for its warm lively splendorous nights but also for its beautiful almost untouched montains where long-ago customs and traditions still persist despite the vortex of modern days. Algarve handicraft excels in pottery, in basketry, in linen and jute works, in copper and brassware, small treasures that its artisians go on producing using tradicional matirials and techniques.

Its gastronomy is a superb menu that offers a wide variaty of Mediterranean highland aromas and flavours and includes dishes made with fish and shellfish, such as the famous "Caldeirada de Peixe" (fish stew) or the typical "Cataplana de Ameijoas" (a dish prepared with cockles), the delicious highland boiled beef and pork with chick peas, cabbages and smoked sausages and, of course, the exquisite sweet food mostly prepared with figs, almonds and carobs as well as the aromatic arbutus brandy that is still distilled in copper alembics, in the montains. There are traditionals restaurants to please everyone, bars and casinos and for those whose batteries never run out, countless discos with wide open doors to inviting you to dance the night away
