Faro
Faro is the gateway to the Algarve, the region in Portugal most popular with tourists. With over 300 days of sunshine each year, the weather in Faro is postcard-perfect for enjoying fun in the sun and sightseeing. The town has been settled continuously since the fourth century, and that long, storied history can be seen from the marina to the cathedral.

Vilamoura
The sleepy fishing village of Quarteira was developed in the 1960s to become one of the first luxury resort towns in the Algarve. In the same decade, a Portuguese hotel and resort company planned a similarly luxurious resort complex, Vilamoura, immediately adjacent. Today, the two resort hubs welcome all types of tourists, from families to golf aficionados to the glamorous jet-set. Vilamoura strives to provide a vacation experience that's as unique as you are.
