The Algarve’s only home-grown, quality glossy magazine spread from the coffee tables of the region’s villas, hotels and business reception areas in 2000 to cover Lisbon, Madeira and several overseas territories.
The Open Media Group which owns The Portugal Resident and Barlavento newspapers, plus a swathe of other titles, has just launched the 100th edition of Essential Algarve.
Featured categories in the 100th edition are the top ten Algarve restaurants, hotels, wines, bars, ingredients, made-in-Algarve products, annual events, activities, golf holes and must-see locations.
Publisher, Bruce Hawker commented:
“We are extremely proud to have reached this important milestone of 100 editions which we are commemorating with what we believe to be the first-ever Algarve top 100 list.
"I would like to thank the team at Open Media who have worked so hard to maintain the quality over the years through some very difficult times, as well as our advertisers and readers. I would also like to thank the Triple Sky branding agency who created our special front cover design and the essential100.info website.”
