Found in the extreme south of the country, Faro Portugal is the capital of the cherished Algarve region. It was the last region to be taken by the Portugese king from the Moors in the late 13th century. Exceptional architecture such as chimneys, terraces and whitewashed homes are left behind by the Moors as remnants of the past and add much to the appealing nature of the region.
Excellent Portugal beaches and fantastic nightlife are both within reach in Faro Portugal. The Ria Formosa which is a beautiful natural lagoon can be found in Faro as can the ever-loved pink flamingo, often seen taking off from th different beaches. There are also numerous islands that are a favorite of visitors. Ilha de Faro is connected to the mainland by road. There are some amenities there such as restaurants, a scattering of beach houses and a few other facilities for travelers. Ilha de Barreta is the most loved of the island with its calm and peaceful atmosphere. There is no ferry connection so tourists must hire a boat to get there but it’s worth visiting this undisturbed location in Faro Portugal even just to have the beach almost to yourself.
