If you are an Instagram user then you will have probably seen a photograph or two of Praia da Rocha beach over the summer, as the beach was officially the most hashtagged Portuguese beach on the social media platform.

European satellite Aeolus, which will study the Earth's winds and includes Portuguese technology, was launched on Thursday from the Kourou space base in French Guiana, the European Space Agency (ESA) said.

The Algarve has once again been recognised as one of the premier tourist destinations in the country with nominations for the upcoming Publituris Portugal Travel Awards.

GDP went up 0,5% compared with the previous quarter, and it rose 2,3% in comparison to the same quarter of the previous year. After a very weak first quarter, the economy is ramping up.

For the 39th year the Algarve is host to its own regional fair, with people travelling from across Portugal to exhibit their products, skills and gastronomy in Lagoa.
