The Algarve: Have fun and relax. Last year I spent my holidays on The Algarve. It's a amazing part of Iberian Peninsula which is well worth knowing. It has both extremely large sandy beaches and quite a few of small coves, so you can choose where do you want to sunbathing or practice watersports. In fact, a lot of people go there to practice surfing or windsurfing because its weather is warm and windy on summertime. It's a good place to unwind after a stressful working year. Despite the fact Spanish customs and culture are slightly different to Portuguese ones, Portuguese people have a very similar "way of living" than Spaniards. Both of us enjoy a great meal and the nightlife. One of the typical portuguese dishes is "arroz con tamboril", it's made with rice, monkfish, tomato, garlic, some shrimps and salt. I don't really know how to cook it but I can say that it's delicious and I suggest you taste it if you have the opportunity. This year, I'm going to Portugal again during my holiday. I'm sure I'll have a great time there. But this time, I'll take a shot on Cascais, near Lisbon. Let's see how "arroz con tamboril" tastes there!
