Originally launched in 1988 by the same company that used to publish the Algarve Resident newspaper, Entdecken Sie Algarve now has been given a total facelift, the April edition now is on sale.
The magazine was reunited with the Algarve Resident in February 2014 when it became part of the Open Media group.
“We decided to wait a year or so before introducing the changes we had in store for the magazine,” said Open Media CEO Bruce Hawker.
“ESA (at it is known inthe German community) has a loyal following and a strong subscriber base built up over 26 years of uninterrupted monthly publication.
"We spent time surveying the readership and making a few gradual changes to the structure over the first year before settling on our decision, which entails an overall improvement and modernisation in terms of quality, style, finish and format without changing the fundamental subject matter of the magazine - it serves as both a source of current information and as a lifestyle magazine for German residents, property owners and visitors,” said Bruce Hawker.
The 100 page April edition is the biggest issue ever produced.
The redesign of the magazine, including a new logo, was carried out by Vilamoura-based design and branding consultants Triple Sky before being developed in-house by the ESA design team.
The new look magazine complements the website that was recently relaunched by Open Media -
