After present you my excuses, i'm ready to tell you more about this country full of sun( or may be not), these last few days our temperatures were 30º but today ( saturday) weather changed and it will may rain tomorrow, we use an afirmation ( it's weekend) because there are always changes on rest days.
I told you some of the most important traditions and delicious gastronomic plates, than i show about algarve, you might know it, it's the most visited beaches from foreign tourists.
