Algarve Inland
The area inside the coastal area consists mostly of rolling hills.
Typical country road
The roads run through the old towns (narrow sidewalks!)
Olive trees in between the small farms, with rolling hills in the background
The brushes hug the ground to preserve humidity for the roots
Some of the sandbased soil is subjected to strong erosion
Another quiet road
Another bush hugging the ground
Some trees have all their branches at the very top
Hilly area next to a water reservoar
Algarve (and Portugal) has several large reservoars, with a capacity sometimes being sufficient for more than a year
Orange farm next to a golf course
Algarve has more than 30 major golf courses, many with separate living facilities
The golf resort buildings are equal in standard to major hotels
Close to the ocean, the vegetation consist of low brushes growing directly in the sand
A previous agriculture area, with a view towards the city of Pera
Portugal has high focus on the environment; here a walkway across the sand dunes to prevent damage
Km-long wooden walkways are nice for walking and for bicycles

Spring flowers pops up everywhere
