The Faro municipality
The whole Faro municipality, in one place.
The Algarve’s capital is far more than its airport: a walled old town, the lagoons of the Ria Formosa and island beaches most visitors never reach, with the palace gardens of Estoi inland. This is everything happening across the concelho: the towns, the beaches, the events and the businesses, brought together and kept current by the community.
