Faro & The Algarve Travel Guide

Mainland Portugal’s southernmost city, scenic Faro is the capital of the Algarve. A colourful town marked by long sandy beaches and flanked by dramatic rocks. Born inside medieval walls, the city unfolds its long story; one of a mish-mash of influences and periods of both prominence and devastation. The Algarve on the south coast of Portugal is the country's most popular vacation destination. With two hundred kilometres of sandy beaches and delightful seaside, the Algarve is surprisingly cheap and rich in culture and diversity.
