[EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: For much of the world, the Algarve is synonymous with Portugal, yet the Portuguese will tell you the exact opposite: the region has little in common with the rest of the country.
Sent 2: The southern stretch of coast is more reminiscent of a North African landscape than a European one.
Sent 3: It has no cosmopolitan cities, like Lisbon and Porto, which are farther north.
Sent 4: Most of Portugal is known for quaint towns, medieval castles, and grand palaces.
Sent 5: The Algarve is more recognizable for impenetrable blocks of tourist apartments, hotels, and meticulously manicured golf courses.
Sent 6: And beaches.
Sent 7: Think Algarve and the mind pictures long, glorious stretches of golden sands, secluded coves framed by odd ochre-colored rock formations, and deep green waters.
Sent 8: With about 160 km (100 miles) of coastline, Portugal's southern province is one of Europe's premier beach destinations.
Sent 9: The occasionally chilly ocean is the Atlantic, but the Algarve has a sultry Mediterranean feel.
Sent 10: Its consistent climate is the best in Portugal, and one of the kindest in the world: more than 250 days of sunshine a year — more than almost any other international resort area.
Sent 11: The moderating effect of the Gulf Stream produces a fresh springtime breeze throughout winter, and in late January and February, white almond blossoms blanket the fields.
Sent 12: In summer the heat is intense but rarely unbearable, and regardless, beautiful beaches and innumerable pools are always just a dive away.
Sent 13: Magnificent year-round weather has made the Algarve a huge destination for sporting vacations.
Sent 14: Superb golf facilities abound — several with tees dramatically clinging to cliffs and fairways just skirting the edge of the ocean — and horseback riding, tennis, big-game fishing, sailing, and windsurfing are immensely popular.
Sent 15: Sports, beaches and hospitable weather — not to mention easily organized package vacations — are surely the reasons the Algarve receives as many visitors as the rest of Portugal in its entirety.
Sent 16: But it's not just international tourists that descend on the Algarve; many Portuguese from Lisbon and elsewhere in the north have holiday homes and spend their summer vacations here.
Sent 17: The coast is neatly divided into the rugged Barlavento to the west and the flat beauty of Sotavento to the east.
Sent 18: West is where you'll find the famous orange cliffs and surreal eroded rock stacks. 
Question: Beautiful Mediterranean weather year round allows for the tourists of Algarve to engage in what types of activities?.

Golf.
