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.

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.

This is a really beautiful nature park. The sand dunes are really beautiful and there is a varied wildlife as well as some great birdwatching.
