"Algarve’s capital, Faro, has a lovely untouched atmosphere, quite rare amongst its other neighbouring towns. The food is what I love most about Faro, it’s reasonably priced, delicious and the portions are always generous, you must try the grilled sardines and seafood like the oysters and squid – if you’re into that sort of thing! Faro is the perfect short break on its own, or a base for exploring the rest of the Algarve, just simply hop on a train to a nearby town. "
