Many people say that Faro – the capital of the Algarve – is located on Europe’s most scenic

coast, offering beautiful, long sandy beaches that stretch away into a horizon framed by rocks on

either side. Faro is a charming old town with cobbled streets and leafy parks. Its location in the

centre of the Algarve makes Faro the perfect starting point for round-trips.
