Holiday rentals in Faro

As a tourist, you're usually looking for the walk that offers you the fullest experience while simultaneously being time and cost-effective. I designed this as a walk to standout and take you through all the old and saturated buildings that make up the city's downtown landmarks and be honest and educated about them, showing you the two sides of the coin: the “grand narrative” and the not-so-pleasant-info that is frequently left out because it has no place in it. This walk is everything in between the heavyweight history book and the lifeless compact guidebook — with a sense of humour.

This host received the official Clean and Safe stamp from Turismo de Portugal Departing from Albufeira Marina, this discovery of the Algarve coast travels 18 km to the Alfanzina Lighthouse. On this route you will be dazzled by several beaches, rock formations and discover marine caves, with a special highlight on the famous Benagil cave. After discovering the coast, get ready to feel the sea breeze as the boats pull away from the coast on a quest to find dolphins. We invite you to stay aware and help us search for our friends. Our goal regarding the watching is that the dolphins come to see you, always respecting the animals and all the norms related to the observation of cetaceans. You will enjoy a scenic view of the coast and have the opportunity to contemplate wildlife, such as various species of birds, flying fish and maybe even sharks. The adventure lasts 2h30, in semi-rigid fast boats that take up to 12 passengers for 2 crew members, these being a marine biologist and a “captain” who knows this part of the coast like the palm of his hand. With just 12 passengers per boat the crew will have the opportunity to provide you a personalized and educational sea trip. (Please note that the dolphins are wild animals in their natural habitat we can not guarantee their sitting 1 Other things to note Check in 30m prior to departure (Albufeira Marina , Seacret Tours Office ) Not recommended for pregnant .

Our team will be waiting for you at the pier of São Francisco, near Clube Naval de Portimão. After a warm welcome, our staff will explain some security procedures. Then, we will start our journey towards the famous Benagil Cave. Along the way, we will see churches, castles, beautiful caves, scary caves and hear old stories. Hopefully, we get to see our great friends, the “dolphins” – All our vessels are equipped with VHF Radio and will be operating in the same channel as the dolphin watching boats so if they are spotted, which is very frequent in our coast, and if they are within 2 nautical miles we will take you to see them. It will be a fantastic, funny and interesting trip, which is much more than a boat trip. Your blood will be running faster, you will hear the echo of "woooh" in the caves and you will have happiness in your heart!

We begin with a brief explanation of the flight equipment and safety standards, then we took off and have a breathtaking view of the beaches and cliffs of the Algarve. During the flight you will be given information about the landscape that we fly over, hotels and points of interest. Return to the initial landing site. Other things to note This activity depends very much on the weather, it is not always possible to fly due to the strong wind. But when we decide to fly it is because it is 100% safe to fly. The choice of paragliding or paramotor flight will depend on the weather for the day of booking.

Sunlight is the first thing that comes to mind when we think about “the south” and it’s so deeply rooted in its visual culture that separating the two is no easy task. This idea of “the sunny south” has been consistently and creatively adapted to anything, really: restaurants, grocers, contractors, marketeers, tourism at large, and if we extended this narrative further back, traditional occupations too. Life in the south has had to be managed around the notion that the sun is your forever relative and it’s not going anywhere. This applies to people’s behaviors, lifestyle and most importantly housing. The architecture of southern cities is the result of this constant equation and also the reason for its uniqueness and authenticity. Landmarks are often the result of a dominating aesthetic (renaissance, baroque, rococo, neoclassical, …) but it’s the lesser-known and more authentic equipment of a city that allows us to navigate this idea. This walk was, then, elaborated as a playground for all-this-Faro: its exclusive architecture and culture at the best time to explore it—the sunset. All combined with simple hassle-free history lessons that allow us to focus entirely on the relationship between the city and its light rather than the usual chronological map of events.
