Faro

Description

Located right in the heart of the southern coast, the city of Faro, in Portugal, is the gateway to the Algarve. Offering some 200km of dramatic golden coastline, protected natural parkland, a whole host of historical, archaeological and architectural gems and some of the best recreational facilities available in Western Europe, it is little wonder that the Algarve has gained the popularity it enjoys today. Visitors fill the hotels in Faro year after year, flocking from all corners of the globe to sample the tasty regional cookery, bursting with the flavours of the sea and the southern Portuguese sun, explore mile upon mile of sandy beaches, weave their way through the inland pine forests and practice their swing on the world-class golf courses.
