Faro é a capital do Algarve e a sua paragem mais subestimada: a maioria dos visitantes só conhece o aeroporto, e perde com isso. A Cidade Velha vive dentro de um circuito de muralhas, com entrada pelo Arco da Vila, onde as cegonhas fazem ninho na pedra. Lá dentro, as ruas de calçada levam ao Largo da Sé e às suas laranjeiras, à catedral com a torre debruçada sobre a ria e ao museu municipal, instalado num convento do século XVI. Fora das muralhas, Faro funciona como uma cidade a sério: a universidade mantém-na jovem todo o ano, as ruas pedonais de calçada enchem ao fim da tarde e a Igreja do Carmo esconde a Capela dos Ossos, forrada com os ossos dos monges do antigo cemitério do convento. A cidade debruça-se sobre a Ria Formosa, e os barcos que partem da marina e do cais da Porta Nova atravessam a laguna até à Ilha Deserta e à Ilha de Faro, praias de ilha-barreira onde a Deserta, sobretudo, guarda o seu espaço mesmo no pico do verão. Faro é para quem prefere uma cidade e uma laguna a um resort: vida portuguesa a sério nas ruas, bons restaurantes e praias a que se chega de barco.

Ludo Trail Flamingo Lagoons
Wildlife

Ludo Trail Flamingo Lagoons

Flat lagoon-side tracks between Faro airport and Quinta do Lago where flamingos feed in old salt pans. The Ludo estate is the Ria Formosa at its most generous: former salinas and freshwater ponds threaded by sandy service tracks that anyone can walk or cycle. Flamingos are the headline act and are present most of the year, joined by spoonbills, black-winged stilts and, in the pines, chameleons you will almost certainly not spot. The route connects to the São Lourenço birdwatching trail, so you can make a morning of it, and the airport runway makes a surreal backdrop for photographs. Start from the dirt road off the Praia de Faro bridge or from the Quinta do Lago side, go early for the light, and bring binoculars.

Ilha Deserta's Empty Far End
Hidden beach

Ilha Deserta's Empty Far End

The southernmost tip of mainland Portugal: an uninhabited barrier island of white sand and shell banks, a short boat ride from Faro. Ilha Deserta, officially Ilha da Barreta, has no town, no cars and a single restaurant by the jetty. Most visitors settle within sight of it, which is why we send people the other way: follow the boardwalk or the tideline south-west towards Cabo de Santa Maria and within fifteen minutes you have kilometres of beach to yourself, with shell drifts underfoot and the whole Ria Formosa at your back. Boats run from Faro's old town pier year round, more often in summer. There is no shade beyond the restaurant, so take an umbrella, water and a hat, and note the time of the last boat back.
