Faro
The capital of the Algarve in Portugal and home to the only international airport in the Algarve, Faro is a historic city surrounded by island beaches including Praia de Faro on the Ilha de Faro (Faro Island) and the protected reserve of the Ria Formosa nature reserve. Although Faro has seen much development over the years, the part of Faro known as 'the old town' still retains much of its natural charm.
