Portugal
"Algarve’s capital, Faro, has an authentic atmosphere, quite different to its neighbouring towns. The food is what I love most about Faro, it’s reasonably priced, delicious and the portions are always generous, try the grilled sardines and seafood like the oysters and squid, straight off the boats that morning. 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."
