01Town & nature

Faro

The capital of the Algarve has retained a typically Portuguese feel. It has a beautiful marina, pleasant parks and squares and a picturesque « Cidade Velha », surrounded by medieval ramparts inside which one discovers cobbled lanes, squares, museums, churches and cafés with terraces. At the gates of the city are the lagoons, beaches and islands of the « Parque Natural da Ria Formosa ».
