The Faro District

Occupying an area of around 5000 km2, the district of Faro has 16 municipalities: Albufeira, Alcoutim, Aljezur, Castro Marim, Faro, Lagoa, Lagos, Loulé, Monchique, Olhão, Portimão, São Brás de Alportel, Silves, Tavira, Vila of Bishop Vila Real de Santo António

When we talk about the district of Faro, we talk about Algarve,  immediately thinking about the sun, blue sky, beach, dolce far niente... right?

Although this is partly true, the district has much more to offer: cozy and charming villages and towns, where the whiteness of the houses contrasts with the splashes of color of the flowers that adorn them, and whose picturesque windows enchant those who glimpse them, streets and alleys that invite discovery, cities full of history, monuments and traditions, mountains that invite you to contemplate the fauna and flora, to take walks in nature, to breathe the fresh air, natural parks that look like paintings, imposing and magnificent cliffs, Palaces and Fortresses that remind us of the grandeur of ancient times...
