Algoz
Algoz is a freguesia (parish) in the municipality of Silves. The name of the village has its origins in the Arabic word “Al-Gûzz” which derives from the name of the Turkic Oghuz people from the Middle East, whose members settled in the area in the 12th century. The patron saint of the village is Our Lady of Mercy. To the south of the village on a hill is the Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Pilar, from here there are fine views across the area.
Pêra (Silves)
Pêra is a Portuguese parish in the municipality of Silves. The village is 12.5 kilometres south east of Silves and is 261 kilometres south south east of Lisbon. The village used to be called Pêra de Cima or Upper Pêra to distinguish it from the present Armação de Pêra, which was then named Pêra de Baixo (Lower Pêra).
Guia (Albufeira)
Guia is a Portuguese parish in the municipality of Albufeira. It has a population of 3,630 (as of 2001) and an area of 18.45 km². It is approximately 5 km from the coast.
