Central Algarve Magazine - Information

The magazine has been published since 1993. Initially named "Leisure & Property" this was later changed to create a stronger local identity and mirror this web site.

The magazine is published in two versions, one for the Almancil area and the other for Vilamoura. There are 3 editions per year: spring, summer and autumn/winter. Each edition has a print run of 25,000, except for the summer editions which have 30,000. Therefore, between the two magazines, there is an annual distribution of 160,000 copies.

The main aim of the magazine is to provide an affordable advertising medium for local businesses and present this in an interesting and stimulating way to the area's visitors and residents.

The magazine is attractive and readable and, best of all, FREE. Anyone can pick up the magazine from many local distribution points, from shop counter tops for example, and this makes it by far the most popular publication in its distribution areas.

Advertisers like the magazine format. They can take display advertising space which is reinforced with directory entries in business listings. In addition, the advertisers exact location is indicated on a high quality centrefold map. The map in itself is very useful and this improves the magazine's shelf life as people wish to hold on to the publication for long periods of time.
