When walking in Algarve with a friend last week, we discovered many nice examples of typical Southern Portugal's architecture. Here are some images :

- three churches first, in Silves, in Albufeira (Nossa Senhora da Orada) and in Almancil (St Laurent).

- and then houses in Almancil  and in Tavira.

An excellent series.  The second and third pictures are my favorites.

Thanks as usual, Paul.

About the third image (St Laurent or "São Lourenço church in Almancil), it is an extraordinary monument and a prime touristic attraction. Its conservation is perfect, and inside (photographing prohibited, but the V-Lux 20 is discreet...) it is entirely covered by superb blue tiles - the famous Portuguese "azulejos" - dating from 1730 (the first references to the church date one century earlier). It is situated near the place where I live.

Here are a few more images (including "stolen" ones...)

This architecture reminds of the days I used to live in Venezuela. Portuguese and Spanish architecture is dominant there. Thanks for sharing my Friend.

It was my pleasure...augmented by yours. I will certainly publish more "finds" in the future.
