Tee Times Portugal Holidays – Azores Golf Holidays Easier Than Ever

Just recently (last saturday the 28th March) the prestigious news publication “The Guardian” published the “The Azores holiday guide” with travel tips on what to see plus the best bars, restaurants and places to stay. Unsurprisingly, this guide is published with the start of two new low cost air routes to Azores, from Portugal and UK.

Azores, a Portuguese volcanic archipelago of nine islands divided in three distinct groups, in the mid-Atlantic, somewhere between Lisbon and New York, feels like a world unto itself. But the two new direct low-cost air routes, operated by Easyjet and Ryanair, are about to bring the enchanted islands within easier reach.

The following amateur video, shot while on holidays by a tourist, gives you a better feel of the natural beauty of Azores that you may experience yourself while on Holidays.

So it’s easier and cheaper than ever to visit Azores and have an excellent Golf Break, while experiencing the pristine natural landscapes, enjoying your Golf at the Batalha Golf Club.

Batalha Golf Course is essentially flat in nature and equipped with excellent infrastructures. Set on a historic site (the name Batalha derives from the battle waged here between liberal and absolutist troops in the 19th century fighting for political control of the island of São Miguel), to the North, the course faces seawards, whilst in the East it looks towards the hills, with higher mountains to the South.

The fact that the course was built on volcanic rock created difficulties in its design and has resulted in a spectacular contrast between the green playing areas and the dry woods standing on rocky soil to the side of these. The holes are long and wide with large undulating greens, flanked by tall trees.

Tee Times Algarve Holidays – Algarve Nature Week – From 11th to 19th April 2015

We think this is an excellent event week that we highly suggest you to complement your Golf Holidays in Algarve. While staying and enjoying Golf you have the chance to better know the Algarve and it’s wonderful nature, both inland and sea coast.

Algarve Nature Week is a promotional event entirely devoted to nature tourism in the Algarve. During the event, there will be special offers available on more than 90 outdoor activities and 8 accommodation facilities, some of which enjoy a rural setting. This aim of this new event, which will be held for the first time between the 11th and the 19th of April 2015, is to draw attention to the Algarve’s natural beauty. So, how will it work? Well, to start with, there will be plenty of action for everyone who enjoys active holidays in unspoiled surroundings. And when we say plenty, we really mean plenty!

For nine days the event will be offering walks, birdwatching, dolphin and whale watching, boat trips, cycle outings, horseback and donkey outings, and even airborne and underwater activities. All at friendly prices so that you can take advantage of (almost) all the activities on offer.

Golf in Algarve is also an excellent way of experiencing the nearby pristine nature with wonderful inland and sea coast landscapes, where the courses are beautifully integrated, regarding the fauna and the flora.

Organised by the Região de Turismo do Algarve (Algarve Tourism Board) with support from Turismo de Portugal and in partnership with seven different bodies, the event also includes an exhibition at Faro’s waterfront park, the “Parque Ribeirinho”. The exhibition will be taking place from the 17th to the 19th of April, and various companies that operate in nature tourism in the Algarve will be exhibiting. This is a great opportunity to get to know them and discover the programme of experiences that they have created for you. Admission is free.

Quarteira – Vilamoura Promenade Connection

Tee Times Algarve Holidays: Quarteira-Vilamoura Promenade Connection Requalification Works Begin

The previously announced “Passeio das Dunas” (“The Dunes Promenade”) project by the municipality of Loulé for the urban redevelopment of the coastal zone west of Quarteira – east of Vilamoura, which connects Quarteira to Vilamoura Marina’s has now started it’s works on the field. It is considered one of the most significant urban rehabilitation projects planned for the municipality of Loulé, for Quarteira and Vilamoura, but also for the Algarve.

The current route that connects the leftovers of what once used to be the old fishermen sheds, near the fishing dock, to the beach front that sides with the Vilamoura’s Marina, was being used extensively as a walk stroll by many but it clearly lacked the proper infrastructures and it was a contrasting gap.

With this intervention, performed in 17.7 hectares, it is intended to create a seaside promenade that connects the Vilamoura’s Marina to Quarteira’s beach promenade, with the creation of green spaces, focusing on pedestrian and cyclist circulation, creating recreational spaces, enhancing and rehabilitating the contact with the sea front and running as a new point of attraction, taking in consideration the built environment with the construction and enhancement of accesses to beaches which constitute the main “entertainment space” of these areas.

The redevelopment work zone develops between the Armação Street in Quarteira and the front of the Crowne Plaza Hotel (formerly Hotel Atlantis), being bounded on the south by the beaches and the fishing port of Quarteira and to the north by Vala Real and provides the resolution of the problem of Vala Real, with its partial coverage.

This intervention seeks to fundamentally change the character of the area, promoting a currently vacant site, a no man’s land, capable of living for itself as a source of energizing vitality but also as a requalified public space that is also a promoter of flows between different urban areas and beaches.

The works that have just started are expected to last for 13 months, nearing the end of 2015. It will surely bring value to the area for both the current population and the many visitors it receives, so its end is, naturally, being anxiously expected by many in the Algarve.
