Marine of Vilamoura!

Previous post about Algarve: the city of Portimão.

During my trip to Algarve I visited Vilamoura, which comprises on of the largest single tourist complexes in Europe and has about 2000 hectares of land. This is the place I know better in Algarve, because it is the region of Algarve where I usually stay since I was a little girl.

The marina of Vilamoura is surrounded by luxury hotels (with ratings from three to five stars) and holiday homes. There is a large casino and also many vibrant restaurants and bars. At the corner of the marina, people can charter boats or visit facilites for jet skiing and parascending. Also, there is a shooting range, a vast number of sports clubs, and also many night clubs.

As you can probably tell, tourism in Vilamoura is really well-developed and people from all over the world come to see its beauty and uniqueness.

The day I visited Vilamoura, while watching the sunset, I had dinner at a restaurant called “7 Figo Decklounge”, wich is owned by the former portuguese football player Luís Figo. It has a beautiful view over the marine and the boats. Then I walked around, ate a delicious ice cream, took pictures and went to some of the many stores in that place.

Here are some pictures!

Figo’s restaurant. Yum!

I love the colourful reflections in the water.

Where am I going next? 😉

World Water Day 2015

World Water Day is celebrated every year, on the 22th March. It is a day to celebrate water. It is a day to raise awareness and to make a difference for those in the world who suffer from water related issues. This day makes us think about how the world will manage the use of water in the future.

In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly designated 22 March as the first World Water Day. A different issue is featured every year. This year is about “Water and Sustainable Development”. In other words, “how water links to all areas we need to consider to create the future we want”.

The Pathway to a Sustainable Future.
