About Faro
Faro is the main gateway to Portugal's Algarve, one of Europe's most developed beach regions, with long sand beaches, dramatic cliffs, and well-organised resort infrastructure. Faro Airport (FAO) handles heavy summer traffic from Northern and Western Europe; the Ria Formosa natural park surrounding the city is a quieter, bird-rich alternative to the main resort towns.
