You can delve into the ancient architecture of the largest city in the Algarve region, which lies around 275 km south of Lisbon. In turn, nature enthusiasts can explore and unwind on unspoiled sands or join cruises in search of dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean. Faro is one of Portugal’s most favoured coastal cities and also one of Europe’s sunniest places, where residents and travellers seeking winter sun get to enjoy around 300 sunny days every year.

Surrounded by fertile fields of trees bearing fruit, olives and the almonds for which the Algarve is famous, Faro is a large town of over 50,000 inhabitants, the administrative capital of the province, lies at the heart of the Formosa Estuary.

Beyond the history of the town, Faro provides well for the shopper with a bustling daily market selling fresh local produce and many shops selling Algarve handicraft and clothing, However the best place for this would doubtlessly be the monthly market where one can find a wide range of linen and leather goods and pottery.
