This 3-day Atlantic Sounds World Music Festival will be held in the beautiful fishing village of Ferragudo, Lagoa, Algarve.

The lineup of artists includes Ricardo Ribeiro singing Fado, urban Portuguese folk music. ‘Kumpania Babel’, a Portuguese folk band, and ‘Chambao’, known for their Flamenco music intermixed with electronic sounds.

Venturing beyond the village of Ferragudo, the city of Lagoa offers an open and friendly welcome for the modern-day tourist along with the beautiful feeling and atmosphere of old world Portugal. Set back slightly from the coast, but with a rich offering of beaches just a short car-drive away, many of these beaches have the prestigious Blue Flag designation. Offering beach users the reassurance that they are clean, safe places to use.

With a fine selection of golf courses in the area, for golfers attending the festival it could be an opportunity to play at least one game of golf during their holiday in Portugal. Silves Golf Course, just inland from the city of Lagoa, offers a challenging game with spectacular scenery. Also near-by are even more prestigius golf courses, named after their famous designers’, like Oceânico Faldo and Oceânico O’Connor.

Lagoa city and municipal area is ideally situated in the heart of the Algarve, so is within easy reach from many places along the coast. If however the desire was to stay local while attending the music festival the well know Portuguese Tee Times Tour Operator offers through their website various options of accommodation, such as: Monte Santo Resort, Tivoli Carvoeiro and various Pestana Hotels. All are close by and all offer an extensive choice of leisure and sport activities, along with spectacular sea views to wake up to.

Portugal Golf: Quinta do Lago North GC Resurfaces

Quinta do Lago North GC - Resurfaces with great Level

Quinta do Lago North GC – Resurfaces with great Level

Portugal Golf: Quinta do Lago North Golf Course begins to resurface with great level. It was closed on 17th November last year to enter complete refurbishment, is already taking new shape and promises to be a new challenge in this luxury resort in the Algarve, Portugal.

It has been removed tons and tons of dirt from the old field and all the surrounding areas of the fairways and greens and it is being deployed tons and tons of new bases, new earth and sand greens, roughs and new areas for new fairways, surrounding the roughs.

It is very time consuming but it is being made hole by hole and the deadlines are being met. There are already some seeded fairways, bunkers marked, limited watering greens and lots of work done.

Photos of today, two ‘par 3’, green of hole 8 already with grass and the 14th hole ready to receive the grass.

Experts say that this will be a field of ‘six’ stars in the Algarve. Let’s wait until the end of the year and if the weather helps to see, play and then analyze it… Looking good for now. It is due for completion in October, 2014.

When completed of course Tee Times will review it and surely offer it again on its best Golf holidays packages as before. We’ll keep you updated.
