Great place! There's the airport, huge hotels, there's the beach, the supermarket called 'makro' (it's more like shopping for big companies unlike belgium's makro), there's WaterWorld (really fun). When you get there someday, just travel around and you'll see it yourself :D.

Don't miss the old churches with thier typical blue tiles

Discover the Natural Park of Ria Formosa's walks and beaches, including a Desert Beach!
Sip a delicious latte with Pastel de Nata (kind of Custard Tart) in Cafe "O Coreto" overlooking Faro's small but pretty Marina.
Go on a City "Train" Tour exploring the old town.
Get a real local nightlife flavour by starting your evening with coffee and beers (Mini is the norm!!) in Cafe "A Tasca" in the Old Town with a very pleasant Summer esplanade full of happy beautiful people. Very laid back!

Close to the "End of the world" - a must
