About Faro

Faro is the capital of the Algarve and the region's main gateway, with an international airport by the edge of the Ria Formosa. The walled old town — the Vila-Adentro — preserves the Cathedral, the Arco da Vila gate and the Municipal Museum housed in a former convent. The Bone Chapel, Jardim Manuel Bivar beside the marina and boat trips to the Ria Formosa barrier islands (Deserta, Farol, Culatra) are must-do visits. Be sure to try cataplana seafood stew and the traditional fig and almond sweets, hallmarks of Algarve cuisine.
