Algarve Addicts: A Thriving Community Of Healthy, Outdoor People Connected By The Algarve, Portugal.

Chris has been working as a pilot for the past 8 years on the 737 and arrived in the Algarve three years ago. He is based in Faro and flies out of our International Airport every morning bound for foreign lands and returns every afternoon. It's a job that allows a sense of normality instead of the usual crazy hours that airline pilots often need to keep. Additionally there are four days off every five days. Now that DOES sound like the best job in the Algarve. Listen to Chris to see if it's really true.

Mauro Engler formed part of a three man expedition to be the first people to ever stand up paddle all the way across the Algarve. Mauro and Nick run Algarve SUP (a stand up paddling touring and adventure company) based in Faro and Armação de Pera. He has a degree in sports science from the University of Algarve. Back in November 2015 Mauro, myself (Nick Robinson) and Spike Reid set off from Sagres in the south west and took 6 nights to stand up paddle across the Algarve. To our knowledge it had never been done before. Find out how we felt and what transpired as we endured this near week long journey. Huge thanks to Mauro for spending the time on this interview. You can get in touch with him through Algarve SUP.
