Usage notes
The spelling es Algarve also enjoys plentiful usage, and there are good arguments for either spelling: es Algarve is the Portuguese version of the toponym, whereas es Algarbe more closely resembles the Arabic root; as such, neither spelling is officially proscribed. In any case, both spellings are homophonic due to the betacism ubiquitous in modern Spanish.
