 Faro
The long strip of dunes that separates the sea from the Ria Formosa is a paradise for anyone who enjoys sun, sand and sea. With the advantage that visitors can choose from a necklace of separate islands, and have mile after mile of sandy beaches all to themselves.
* Ilha de Faro: linked to the mainland by a road, this island has a small nucleus of beach houses, restaurants and other tourist facilities.
* Ilha de Barreta: this island is truly calm and solitary. Thanks to the fact that there are no regular ferry connections. It is an excellent destination for anyone who has hired a boat or is lucky enough to have their own and who wants to enjoy the pleasures of sea and sand undisturbed by other holidaymakers.
* Ilha do Farol: apart from a few fishermen's cabins, there is nothing on these islands but sand...
* Culatra: a former fishing village, until a few decades ago the houses of Culatra had wooden walls and thatched roofs. Fishing still goes on, and shell fish are harvested from the Ria. There is an extensive beach which is quiet, with a family atmosphere. Regular steam boat services run to the Farol and Culatra beaches from Faro [ summer ] and Olhão [ all year ].

History of Algarve

 History on Portugal - WikipediA
Portugal during the past 3,000 years has witnessed a constant ebb and flow of different civilizations. Phoenician, Greek, Celtic, Carthaginian, Roman, Barbarian and Arabic cultures have all made an imprint in Portugal. In the 15th century, Portugal also entered into world history. Remarkable discoveries by its maritime explorers led to the accumulation of an overseas empire.
