Algarve, Faro, Portugal VIP services

Faro is the capital of southern Portugal’s Algarve region. The city’s neoclassical Arco da Vila is on the site of a gate that was part of the original Moorish wall. The monumental archway leads to the old town, with its cobbled streets. Nearby is Faro Cathedral, built in the 13th century. The Municipal Museum, in a 16th-century convent, displays prehistoric and medieval artifacts, plus religious art. The city is on the edge of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, an important wetland with lagoons and mudflats. The park’s shores are protected from the sea by several barrier islands. Among them, the uninhabited Barreta Island has sandy, undeveloped beaches. Farther east, the salt pans of Tavira Island attract flamingos, spoonbills and other wading birds. Northwest of Faro, the village of Almancil is known for the Church of St. Lawrence, its interior decorated with painted ceramic tiles from the 18th century.
