Just a few days ago, I was standing on the shores of the Pacific Ocean and eating red caviar. In two months I will reach California, and I will also look at the Pacific Ocean. Unless I'm going to chew some burger.

The ocean was very cold, I was even afraid to come close to it. But he fascinates, he is much stronger than the sea. Maybe I got illusions about the greatness of the ocean in my head, but maybe not. See and judge for yourself.

1. Black ocean sand mixed with white snow. Creamy chocolate ice cream.

2. Dream Job or Stubborn Fool? A tractor drives along a deserted and deserted coast and rakes snow into the ocean, and then quickly reverses it, running away from the surf. Why is he doing this?

Portugal seems to be specially designed for those who love warmth, luxury, the ocean. And so that it was not far to fly to all this. And that, in addition to the resorts themselves, there should also be normal human settlements in which normal local residents live, and not just tourists and hotel staff. So that you can walk along the narrow streets, go to a local tavern, drink good local wine...

Portuguese resorts are designed for gourmets. For people who are so accustomed to luxury that they simply do not notice it. Therefore, on the one hand, they simply need a Jacuzzi with a parabolic antenna sticking out of every corner of the hotel, and on the other hand, since luxury is their natural environment, they like to slip away from it for a few hours. Plunge into the life of places that, it seems, have not been touched by time. Listen to the ringing of bells calling for morning mass, mingle with the crowd of locals entering the church. Walk into the harbor, take a look at how the fishermen pull their catch out of the boats onto land, maybe even exchange a few words with them, click your tongue approvingly, expressing admiration for a particularly large specimen of tuna. And spitting on the abundant buffet, bursting with many gourmet dishes in anticipation of its only connoisseur, have breakfast with a portion of fried sardines bought from a local merchant. Slightly overpay him in excess of the requested amount, so that he has the same good mood in the morning as you do. On a morning like this, nothing tastes better than this simple Portuguese meal.

After that, it's time to return to the hotel, pull on your shorts and go to the beach, to the ocean. Plunge into the Atlantic, warm your mortal body in the sun. Approach the pier and whistle to the crew of the yacht rented the day before that you are ready to sail.

The fact that Portugal is the outskirts of the continent has its own charm. In it, as in any province (and Portugal is often called a province of Europe), rest is much better than in the centers of civilization. Moreover, the benefits of civilization created there do not disturb the unhurried rhythm of life in the outback. Although you can’t call Portugal a backwater in the truest sense of the word. The country is ancient. Here and there there is a medieval church or a Moorish fortress. Climbing deep into any town, as if you find yourself in the Middle Ages with numerous artisan shops.

The Algarve resort is much less ancient than the surrounding towns and villages. Back in the sixties, a foreign tourist here looked like a strange bird, it is not clear for what purpose it flew to the ocean. The Algarve has been built in recent decades, so it is one of the most modern in Europe. And in last years gained fame as one of tourist centers peace.

The Algarve is little explored by Russian tourists. More precisely, not mastered at all. Unlike their Spanish neighbors, the Portuguese were not seriously interested in the Russian market for a long time. And only two years ago they realized it. Portugal began to prepare for the arrival of the Russians.

To begin with, hotel employees began to intensively teach the Russian language. Local travel agencies began to urgently acquire a staff of translators from Russian. Having studied the tastes of our tourists a little, some hotels even began to build their own casinos. So we can say that by this season the Algarve is in every sense ready for the expected landing. Russian tourists. And from June 13, the Aeroflot A-310 will start flying here every week. On this plane, the travel agency "Academservice" offers to go on vacation to Portugal.

Although the Algarve is a rather expensive resort, Academservice offers tours starting at $599, including flights, hotels, transfers, insurance and breakfast. You don't need more breakfast in a Portuguese hotel. Of course, if you want, the cost of the tour will include lunch and dinner at the hotel. But I repeat, there is no particular point in this, because it is cheaper to eat on the side. In addition, then you will have every opportunity to appreciate all the delights of Portuguese cuisine.

First, it is very cheap. Secondly, it is very plentiful. And for lovers of fish and "seafood" Portugal is the place where you need to come to eat seafood for the year ahead. Fish dishes are especially tasty just in the Algarve. It has invented its own way of preparing it. The fish, along with onions, tomatoes and sweet peppers, is placed in a hermetically sealed frying pan made of thin copper. And it is stewed without adding any fat. The dish just melts in your mouth. Even if you are not a fanatical fan of fish, you should definitely try it.

If you prefer to lie on the beach between meals leisure, you know: in the Algarve it is very welcome. It is for you that many are broken here tennis courts and golf courses (by the way, if you have not yet mastered this aristocratic game, you will be taught it in one of the local golf clubs). For those who like to shed extra pounds and pump muscles closer to the water, all kinds of sea sports are offered. Avid fishermen, as well as those who just dream of a real fishing once in a lifetime, can go deep sea fishing. And romantics can rent a yacht. With or without a crew.

And of course, little children are taken care of here too. Special playgrounds and water parks have been built for them. About older children too: there are many discos in the Algarve, both in hotels and outside them. By the way, not only teenagers and couples in love dance in discos, but also German tourists of quite advanced age. No wonder - age is not a hindrance to dancing. About bars and talk too much. By itself: where enlightened Europeans rest, bars are built on the basis of "two establishments per soul of a vacationer." Casinos have already been mentioned - they were built, are being built and will be built. There will be plenty of places for everyone to spend their hard-earned dollars. As usual in good casinos, in addition to gambling tables and slot machines, there are podiums here. On which various shows are arranged every evening to amuse the minions of fortune.

There is also a place to go for those who like to drink a glass of good Portuguese port wine while watching the dances of pretty Portuguese women, without mixing these two pleasures with mercantile interests - that is, they do not like to go to the casino. And you don’t even have to go far: many hotels arrange entertainment programs every evening.

Having danced and bathed, you can devote some time to cultural leisure. "Academservice" offers about ten excursions along the Algarve coast. If you went to Portugal, so to speak, by gravity, then excursions in Russian would cost you a pretty penny. Although local guides began to master the Russian language, only a few mastered it enough to lead excursions. Academservice's partner has such guides. And since "Academservice" has many groups, the cost of the tour is not high. Those who wish can be sent on an excursion to the capital of Portugal, Lisbon, and even to Spanish Seville (Portugal, like Spain, is part of the Schengen area, so a separate visa is not needed to visit Seville). And, of course, excursions with visits to wine cellars are provided, and there, of course, tasting. Portugal is one of the centers of winemaking. In addition to excellent fortified wines, with which many rightly associate the country in the first place, very tasty dry wines are produced here.

Sea (that is, ocean) cruises in the Algarve are also organized at the proper level. As expected - with a view of the rocks, caves, swimming and dining on the ocean. There is even a cruise on the Guadiana River, which marks the border between Portugal and Spain.

And after Lisbon, golf, fishing and cruises, it is worth lying in the shade under an almond tree and dreaming about how you will come to these blessed lands next year.

The nearest ocean is in Portugal
