Get to know the birds of southern Europe
How many species did you add throughout the summer months?
Although it has been well reported that August was a very quiet time for birders, this was not the case in the sunny Algarve, Portugal.
Birding in the Algarve takes you off the tourist track popular with walkers and cyclists to a land where White Storks and Hoopoes, Purple Swamp-hens and Azure-winged Magpies offer a truly memorable experience.
Enthusiasts that booked their accommodation with Select Resorts this year all returned home in buoyant moods as they report to us the number of species that they have ticked - included sightings of Wigeons, Booted Eagles, Ospreys and Glossy Ibis all at Ludo farm in Quinta do Lago.
Ludo Farm borders the Quinta de Lago resort and spreads east as far as Faro Airport. The best access to get the most out of your visit is from the road leading to Ilha de Faro. If you park on the right-hand side of the road and head along the track westwards away from the airport you have access to saltpans and glorious lagoons that provide some great views.
At Select Resorts we want to hear of your birding experiences in the Algarve region, so please feel free to add your comments.
Remember at the end of an action packed day bird watching it is essential for some good food and comfortable accomodation to relax in. Check out Select Resorts website http://www.selectresorts.co.uk to arrange your accommodation in the Algarve now.

Stepping Out in the Algarve
A Walkers Paradise!
The Algarve is a walkers paradise. This Southern part of Portugal may be best known for its exclusive golf resorts and fabulous beaches, but there is a lot more to be discovered just a short distance from the main resorts. Select Resorts offer holidays in the main exclusive golf resorts such as Quinta do Lago but we also encourage visitors to get out and about to see the stunning scenery and wildlife which is so close by!
The Algarve´s climate makes walking a pleasure at least nine months of the year. In the springtime, the countryside is covered by brightly coloured flowers. Summer adds the butterflies and an abundance of wildlife. In autumn there is new growth and giving the sense of a second spring.
There is a wide variety of walks from coastal foot paths to rugged mountains, orange valleys to quaint traditional towns. One of the most stunning parts of the Algarve, Monchique and its surrounding regions are a delight to explore. Walking allows you the opportunity to explore the landscape which has been untouched by development.
Few visitors are aware of the variety of wildlife on the Algarve. From flamingos to eagles, from ancient olive trees to wild orchids, from geckos to wild boar, the Algarve has an abundance of wildlife. The flora and fauna of the South coast changes season by season. Cork oak, olives, pines, eucalyptus and tree heathers and cultivated orange and lemon groves and almond trees give a colourful display and smell. There are gum cistus, wild jasmine, rock roses and oleanders.. There is also a lot to see for birders, including cranes and flamingos.
Local guide books and good walking guides can help you find the best routes around the area, and can also suggest walking guides who can arrange a walking tour with other like minded explorers. By using local guides and visiting rural restaurants and shops selling local products also helps put money into the local economy, and walking is an environmentally friendly and healthy way to explore the beautiful Algarve.
All you need at the end of a tiring day walking is some good food and a comfortable villa to relax in. Check out Select Resorts website www.selectresorts.co.uk to arrange your accommodation in the Algarve now.
Enjoy!

Four Seasons County Club Quinta do Lago – Popular Again for 2009!
Four Season Country Club Quinta do Lago
Located in the prestigious golfing resort of Quinta do Lago, the Four Seasons Country Club has been a favorite with Select Resorts clients for many years. It could be the fact that the resort offers a high standard of accommodation throughout, and with all the properties with the same décor clients know what to expect. Its popularity could also be due to the fact that it offers excellent facilities on site including a kids club meaning it makes an easy and convenient holiday for families. Golfers also like the Four Seasons Country Club as golf courses are as close as 500m and guests receive preferential rates.
Along with the choice of one and two bedroom apartments sleeping up to six people, the Four Seasons Country Club also offers a gym, health and fitness club, restaurant and bar and indoor and outdoor pool, really making it a club for all seasons! Despite the array of facilities, the Four Seasons Country Club is pretty. The apartments are built in little clusters with the appearance of a little white washed village. The beach and nature reserve is also very close.
It would be fair to say that the Four Seasons Country Club suits all types of holiday makers and its excellent reputation means that accommodation gets booked up very early. At the moment there is also a fantastic special offer giving early bookers 10% discount for holidays between 1/1/09 and 29/3/09 if booked before 31/12/08. So hurry, before everyone else gets there first! Enquire Now!!

“PORTUGAL’S LEADING RESORT” Praia D’el Rey
Praia D'el Rey
The European winners of the 2008 World Travel Awards, dubbed “the Oscars of the travel industry” by the Wall Street Journal, were announced this week at a glittering awards ceremony in Slovakia attended by 300 guests from 19 countries across Europe.
Against stiff competition, the Praia D’El Rey Marriott Hotel, situated 50 minutes north of Lisbon on Portugal’s Silver Coast, was named “Portugal’s Leading Resort” for the second year running.
This caps a highly successful year for the Praia D’El Rey Golf & Beach Resort, already well known as a year round sporting destination by the world’s elite sportsmen. Recent visitors include football superhero Cristiano Ronaldo, since the resort’s Marriott hotel is currently the home-from-home for the Portuguese national football team during their World Cup 2010 training sessions.
Praia D'el Rey Golf and Beach Resort
“We are thrilled to win this prestigious award”, says Jorge Almeida, Resort Director of Praia D’El Rey. “It’s a recognition of how we have grown over the last 10 years to become one of Portugal’s best known resorts, with over 250,000 visitors a year.”
Launched in 1993, the World Travel Awards acknowledge excellence in travel and tourism.
Now, after fifteen years, both travel professionals and travellers alike regard the awards as an endorsement of quality. Votes are cast by travel professionals from 167,000 travel agencies, tour and transport companies and tourism organizations in over 160 countries worldwide.
You can book holidays at Praia D’el Rey or at Quinta do Lago, which was voted “Portugals Leading Golf Resort” with Select Resorts, who offer a wide range of villa, apartment and hotel accommodation on the resort.
Apart from its 5 star Marriott hotel, the 230-hectare Praia D’El Rey Golf & Beach Resort has an 18 hole golf course with full coaching facilities, water sports, a tennis centre and FIFA-standard football centre, shops and restaurants, and over 800 luxury villas, townhouses and apartments.
