Faro is so picture perfect, a real Algarve town with whitewashed buildings and pretty streets. We had a lovely low key holiday here strolling around and indulging at the cafes and restaurants.

Estadio Algarve

My mates and I were lucky enough to see a couple of matches here at Euro 2004 and so when we came back for a holiday we just had to visit. The design of the stadium is really great, with two 'sails' making it look like it's a huge insect or something!

Arco da Vila

posted by vlevett on 19 October 2010 at 12:16

This is a really amazing piece of renaissance styale architecture though it was built during the neo classical revival. You can see a statue of Thomas of Aquinas here too. Its definately a sight to see as it towers several storeys off the ground with ornate statues and grand classical decorations.

Faro Harbour

The Faro Harbour adjoins a beautiful town square with some lovely mosaics. The harbour is small but feels really authentic with fisherman busily working. You can get boat tours from here to the Rio Formosa nature reserve where there are lots of species of indigenous birds.

Tavira

posted by yhahn on 19 October 2010 at 12:01

If you're staying in Faro for a while, take a day out to go and visit the quaint little town of Tavira which is located a short journey from Faro by an extremely old fashioned train. Once you arrive, climb the cobbled hill to the Moorish castle at the top which commands fantastic views over the surrounding countryside. If you walk out of town along the river, there are some really striking salt marshes.

18 miles east of Faro
