THE CAPITAL OF THE ALGARVE REGION MAINTAINS A GENUINENESS THAT DESERVES ATTENTION.
In the South, those who visit the Algarve do not always give due value to Faro. However, the capital of the Algarve region maintains, for this very reason, a genuineness that deserves attention. Even more so when, in recent years, the renewal of the riverside front has strengthened ties with the extraordinary Ria Formosa, which only lacks entering alleys and squares where the stories of history are told every day.
Faro is divided into three areas. The most popular – and the oldest – is Vila Adentro, with its walls, arches and towers, under which political and religious power still nest. But Mouraria, downtown, with its cobbled streets, is not far behind, bustling and asking us to sit down and enjoy all the delicious delicacies that the local gastronomy has to offer, whether they come from the land, the magical sweet cuisines , or the sea, so close by.
The third is precisely the Bairro Ribeirinho, a neighborhood of fishermen but not only, already with a foot in the Ria. There is also the “Rua do Crime” – crime street, a nickname for the Faro nightlife made of snack taverns, bars and clubs. An unmissable trilogy.
