When you consider the Algarve’s beautiful beaches and pleasant climate, it is no surprise why so many people visit this destination for a summer holiday. But in addition to relaxing in the sun without a care in the world, there are plenty of other things to see and do here, especially in the capital of Faro.

We walked several miles and climbed 150 stairs (Abi counted) yesterday, in the cold and mist, just so I could show you this view.  Okay, yes, we wanted to see it for ourselves but you get the benefit without the hike.  You’re welcome!
