This page should actually read "Portuguese Algarve," as the original Moorish Kingdom of Algarve was partitioned between Spain and Portugal, and the two even fought over the title of "King of the Algarve."

I suspect the Spanish Algarve is larger than the Portuguese.... There is also a need to create a page on the Spanish Algarve. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.182.37.247 ( talk) 12:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

I have little experience with Wikipedia, so maybe someone else who is more knowledgeable can correct the following bug: The link to Lagos does not lead to Lagos/Portugal but to Lagos/Nigeria.) - ... already done
I suppose this article should be merged with Faro (district) since the region is now called Faro after it's capital like in other Iberian regions.
Although Al'Garb Al'Andalus is a history stub, there does not seem to be much to say about it, other than that the name was used. I'm suggesting a merger with Algarve. Copying the current paragraph to some other article on the history of Portugal might also be a good option. FilipeS 14:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Proposal withdrawn. On second thoughts, the topics of each article are quite different. FilipeS 20:53, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Not too sure what this has to do with Tourism in the Algarve. I notice that there is already a reference to this under Praia da Luz and as such I doubt the relevance of it here. I'm removing it for the time being, if Wiki users desperately want it back then I suggest it be retitled "Notable events" or merged with the History section. VTSPOWER 10:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Praia da Luz Is a village location in the algarve that has not yet made town status. whilst being in the media for the Madeline McCann dissapearence , it should not be merged with any history of the Algarve.it is a case that perhaps received more media attention that any other, for a missing child, whilst I respect the sensativity of the case,The algarve does not need to be listed for such a case, due to the longterm affects this could have on tourism for the country, the same way WikipediA does not nor should cover murders of tourist, that have taken place over the many years unless it was noted in the media as a civil unrest that caused such avents that they be recorded as part of the countries History —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.243.126.85 ( talk) 20:55, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
I think a separate page for the Kingdom of the Algarves (and later of either sides of the sea...) would be great, with a template in the style of the one seen in Portuguese Malacca and Kingdom of Portugal. Câmara ( talk) 20:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
where does this image come from? waht is the origin of this coat of arms? it should be wither source or removed, as it seems to me as a possible hoax-- BBird ( talk) 15:07, 19 February 2008 (UTC).
Please note that sometimes the coat-of-arms does not have an arab-dressed-like man but a black man with a "rambo-like" stripe, sometimes red, sometimes white (the link I indicated has the black man). I saw all these variations. I would like to know when this coat-of-arms was made, and if it is as old as the portuguese conquest of Algarve in 1249. Câmara ( talk) 11:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
I was at a lecture given at the Municipal Library in Lagoa in March by the head of the heraldry club in the Algarve, and he showed this coat of arms (and explained it) as part of his lecture on the making of coats of arms. It is valid. I will try to find the notice of the lecture and get in touch with the lecturer so that we can add an appropriate reference. Ron B. Thomson ( talk) 18:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
I have found the lecture notice -- no e-mail contact -- but the shield on it (slightly different) is for the Heraldic Society. I made a rough sketch of the shield for the King of the Algarve (or Kingdom -- "King" may be my abbreviation) which more or less matches the design under discussion. I did not note the background colours. Ron B. Thomson ( talk) 15:58, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I have now communicated with the heraldry expert in the Algarve, and he points out that the early crests of the kingdom are different from the one posted above.
I note a reference to something which might (or might not!) settle this: Francisco de Simas Alves de Azevedo, " O Brasão de Armas de Reino de Algave e algumas das suas fontes cartográaficas", Boletim da Sociedade de Geografia de Lisboa (June 1984). Perhaps I can find this and see what it says. Ron B. Thomson ( talk) 18:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
I added a version with a real source cite in wikimedia commons: Atlas Contractus, Amsterdam 1666. -- Roksanna ( talk) 00:01, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
The article about an alleged governor of the Algarve during the Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarves really needs evidence. I suggest it to remove it. Both the Portuguese and the Spanish versions of Wikipedia's Reino do Algarve (Kingdom of the Algarve) mention the opposite: There was no real autonomy in the Algarve. The country name "Portugal and the Algarves" was a title for the king to stress that the Algarve was part of Portugal, due to some Castilian claims over the region. However, if I am wrong, could any of you show me evidence of Algarve's autonomy?
Praia da Marinha, Lagoa was classified as one of the 100 most beautiful and well preserved beaches of the world.

Algarve → The Algarve – Just like The Bronx, it seems to be most commonly referred to with the "The". Unreal7 ( talk) 16:52, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
As many Portuguese friends have pointed out (and one or two Arabic speakers!), it is unnecessary to add 'The' in front of Algarve, as the Al part means the same thing - and 'The The West' would be a ridiculous name for a region. So, I'm happy to edit this article to remove the error, but I think it might be wise to check here first whether that would appear overly pedantic. We could of course add a brief explanatory note that in some other countries (especially the UK) a redundant additional definite article is often added in colloquial speech. Is that a constructive contribution? Perry Pat Etic Poleaxe ( talk) 11:43, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
The region is called "Algarve," not "The Algarve." When translating from Romance languages into English, the article is normally dropped, especially for proper nouns. We don't translate "la France" as "the France." The article needs to be corrected to reflect this. 98.156.119.111 ( talk) 02:18, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
