OLHAO
To discover the hidden charm of Olhao visit the top of the main church tower and see the the hundreds of roof terraces - the "acoteias" -, typical of the Algarve, which create a unique urban panorama. On street level it is worth wandering through the fishermen's quarter, which stands between the quay on the Ria Formosa and the main city church. The houses here are small and white, their walls topped with bands of geometric decoration that are in effect the verandas of the roof terraces. The streets that border the Avenida da Republica, itself a symbol of the urban development that took place at the turn of the century, reflect a city of industrials and ship-owners who grew rich from the fish processing business and trade, displaying their wealth by decorating their homes with verandas, tiles, carved stonework and wrought iron.
Any tour of Olhao should end among the refreshing gardens and open air cafes to be found along the long quayside. It is also worth a visit to the colourful atmosphere of the market, where the stands sell fish straight from the sea, fresh vegetables and sweet fruit from nearby farms.
No visit to Olhao should take place without a trip to the islands of Armona and Culatra via ferry or private water taxi and which can also provide an opportunity to take a trip along the Ria and visit many different quiet and attractive beaches.
FARO
The Algarves capital has a more distinctly Portuguese feel than most resort towns. Many visitors only pass through this underrated city, which is a pity, as it makes for enjoyable exploring. It has an attractive boat marina, well-maintained public parks and plazas, and a picturesque cidade velha  old town  ringed by medieval walls. The old town's winding, cobbled pedestrian streets, squares and buildings were constructed in a melange of styles and are home to museums, churches, a bone chapel and numerous al fresco cafes, restaurants and bars.
