See the contrast between the Western barlavento coast and the Eastern Sotavento Coast. Algar Seco's rock formations, a result of the West Algarve coast land rises where a collision of the Eurasian and African continental plates in the Mid-Atlantic is literally pushing the land upwards. This is the reason for the distinctive steep sandstone cliffs and broken off dramatic rock formations on the West Algarve coast. The rocks are best viewed by boats which leave the Carvoeiro beach regularly in summer...JOB REF:    4376    PPL        DATE: 25_07_2007.**MUST CREDIT SOLARPIX.COM OR DOUBLE FEE WILL BE CHARGED* *UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS THIS IMAGE TO BE REPRODUCED FOR ANY ONLINE EDITION WITHOUT PRIOR PERMISSION*
