We had some changes for the 2007 season, not only as places of interest. The Algarve has been transformation in the last two years, when roads and intersections have dramatically changed the infrastructure has been driven into the 21st century.
This year, more than ever has been a large number of crosses replaced with roundabouts, one-lane roads usually extended driveway. With these changes in mind that we advise all visitors for the 2008 season with transport provided by many tour companies that will save you masses of time and effort to navigate the new system improves the circulation of the Algarve. We hope that by 2009 most of the work is completed and can resume normal.

Sections of this year are included;

Penedo
From about 300/100 running Penedo has toped the charts once again. Locals struggle to recall a famous Algarve without the park, some say it was built during the Muslim invasion and brought Henry the Navigator dolphins home after his trip to the Atlantic (sorry, I'm ridiculous). The park has become an integral part of any Algarve holiday for all nationalities. Penedo was founded in 1989 as a marine center of learning for adults and children has since grown into the most famous voyage Algarve. The show of dolphins, sea lions Theatre (in 2007 entitled "Magic Book"), birds of prey and shark tunnel screen, not to mention the recording channel, the pirate ship swing and mini roller coaster. 2007 also saw the addition of 4D cinema, this film incredible shows how change and affect our planet through the way we treat nature. All this coupled with the large pool and terrace, bars, shops and restaurants can begin to see why he wins every year. Oh, and above all, I have to mention that, with prior booking excursions through online, can swim with dolphins, it is just swimming with dolphins. The interaction of the dolphins is a great way for visitors young and old to realize this dream is most of a long life. Penedo was priced at € 21.50 for the year 2007, will keep you informed of any price increase for 2008 in our site tour. However, for a full day, including transport into any free (excluding food, beverages and gifts) £ 13.00 per adult is an incredible value. Direct Tours just want to say a big thank you to Rosa and any team in Praia for another great season.
