Modern and alive with its many shops, exhilarating nightlife and plenty of restaurants to tempt your taste buds, Faro, the capital of Algarve, is a fabulous vacation getaway.
While many simply pass through this quaint town on their way to the more popular resorts of Algarve, charm and history await those who take the time to discover the excitement and elegance this little Portuguese town has to offer.
Cidade Velha is great for sightseeing and is sure to interest history buffs. Just passing through the impressive gate which has stood guard since the 18 th century, and seeing what is left of the great medieval walls is a treat. Igrega do Carmo offers a dark and less amusing attraction.
The bones of over 1000 monks were used to decorate the walls of a chapel. It is an odd, but compelling sight to see.
Just a trot away, you'll find the quiet little village of Estoi which will entice you with its 1 st century Roman ruins and its unforgettable Roccoco palace.
If you feel the need for a few moments of tranquil relaxation, you'll find beaches that offer a great way to take in the sun and stroll peacefully along the sand only a few miles away.
