At 100 years old, the Bordoy Grand House Algarve opens its doors to the city

Público12 September 2026 at 11:23

The Grand House Algarve, located in Vila Real de Santo António, celebrates its centenary this year. The hotel was built by the Ramirez family and constituted one of the first luxury establishments in the Algarve region.

Over a century, the Grand House Algarve has remained an important landmark in local hospitality, attracting travelers and visitors to the city of Vila Real de Santo António.

To celebrate this special date, the hotel decided to open itself to the local community, no longer being directed only at guests and tourists, and beginning to integrate more actively into the life of the city.

This opening to the community represents a new phase for the establishment, which thus aims to strengthen its ties with the residents of the region while continuing to celebrate its hundred-year history.

Why this matters

The residents of Vila Real de Santo António and the Algarve gain access to a historic hotel that for decades was reserved for guests, now being able to participate in the centenary celebrations. This is a rare opportunity to discover regional hotel heritage and strengthens the bond between local tourism history and the community.

Extremadura fears losing investments in five data centers. Badajoz-Elvas axis puts Portugal in the race

The Spanish Extremadura region asked the Madrid Government to withdraw the Draft Royal Decree project aimed at regulating the energy consumption of data centers, warning that the new stricter rules than European legislation could compromise strategic investments in the region, valued at more than 25 billion euros. The center of the protest is the requirements that force data centers to ensure that 80% of consumed energy is generated during the same hour, associated with new renewable production. On the other side of the border, in Badajoz, the Nostrum Evergreen Data Center project has just obtained prior administrative authorization for electrical infrastructure, taking advantage of the proximity to the Elvas-Badajoz axis, which could position Portugal as an alternative for these technology investments.
