About the project

"Aspirant Geoparque Algarvensis" is the project of an territory of identity, inspiration, transformation, belonging, which invites you to visit, stay and invest, in a conscious way and in harmony with the natural and cultural values that are present. It is, in short, a happy way of being and experiencing the land, handing it on to future generations!
It aims to contribute to greater social and territorial cohesion in the municipalities of Loulé, Silves and Albufeira, through a policy of territorial enhancement, based on the UNESCO Geopark concept and the objectives of sustainable development. By publicising the territory's geological and natural heritage, this project makes it possible to rethink the use of local resources with people and for people, integrating nature, science, culture, art and a sustainable economy.

European New Bauhaus framework

The Emerging Geopark Algarvensis Loulé-Silves-Albufeira aims to be an enabling link for greater appreciation and promotion of local and regional heritage at international level, intending above all, to contribute to the preservation of its geological and cultural heritage, as well as to create the conditions for a greater appreciation of its territory. The Geopark also integrates the Geopalcos project - art, science and nature.
