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. Faro is an incredible city with so much wonder, beauty, and culture to enjoy. But it’s often overlooked by tourists, many of whom travel to Faro Airport on their way elsewhere.
