On View at Côrte Real Gallery
International art at a secret Algarve gallery
Côrte Real Gallery is a world apart. Hidden away in the Algarve hills in a charming old quinta, the winding country lanes that take you to the gallery set the scene for what awaits - an intriguing and welcoming world of grace, beauty and colour. Fabulous art adorns the ancient white-washed walls, and hand-made and painted ceramics add pops of colour around the gallery.
The Algarve is often the star of the show here - vibrant colours of sea, sky and sand, depictions of villages and algarve scenes, gorgeous ceramics made by local artists. An aladdin's cave of beautiful items to bring your Algarve home to life.
