Definition: The word 'Algarve' in Latin comes from the Greek, "αλγρωνευς," which means "the sea." The term "Algarve" was often used to refer to a specific area around Portugal that is located on the north coast of the country. It's one of the three main coastal regions of Portugal (the others are the Azores and Madeira). The Algarves are known for their beautiful beaches, rugged cliffs, and unique volcanic landscapes. The Portuguese name of the region comes from the Latin root "Algōr" which means "sea," hence the name "Algarve." It is a term used historically in Portugal to refer to the coastal regions around the Atlantic Ocean, but today it often refers more specifically to Portugal's Algarve coastline. The name 'Algarve' comes from the Greek word "Algōr" meaning "sea" and the Latin root "Algerum" which means "Sea," hence the Portuguese term. It is one of three main coastal regions of Portugal, along with the Azores and Madeira.
