Faro Cathedral was built on ancient Roman ruins that were converted into a mosque during the period of Moorish occupation. The cathedral is characteristically Gothic in style and was built after King Alfonso III conquered Faro. It is now perfectly restored, and you can enjoy its gilded altarpieces, some tiled walls and, especially, the climb up its tower. From there you can see the whole city and the surrounding estuaries. The entrance fee is only €3.

3. Discover the beautiful Praia de Ilha de Faro

Ilha de Faro beach stretches for almost 3 miles along the coast of the island of the same name and can be reached by a long, narrow bridge across the Ria Formosa natural park. Along the coast, you'll find a varied selection of places to eat and drink, as well as various water sports options. Also, with regular swells all year round, surfers will have a great time testing their skills on the board. Note that during the summer months, Ilha de Faro beach becomes one of the most popular beaches in the Algarve, due to its proximity to the city and the airport.

To visit this chapel you must enter through the church of Carmo, built in 1719, which you can explore before continuing your tour. It is just behind this site and houses the bones of 1200 Carmelite monks whose remains were exhumed from a nearby cemetery in 1816. The chapel was built with the idea of raising awareness of the brevity of human life and the need to live it to the fullest. Admission to both the church and the chapel is a symbolic €1. It is open from Monday to Friday.

Barreta Island, also known as Ilha Deserta, offers a pleasant respite from the more crowded and buzzing beaches of Faro. If you're looking for a holiday full of peace, head for this 4-mile stretch of fine golden sand and refreshing blue waters, enjoy romantic walks along the coast or pack a picnic by the sea, but remember there are no cafés or restaurants nearby, so be sure to take supplies with you.

A different but fun activity to do in Faro is to see a performance at the Lethes Theatre. It is one of the oldest in the whole country, and although it is small in size it is still really charming. The façade gives no clue about the spectacular classical-style interior. You can go to the tourist information centre in Faro and enquire about the programme. Tickets are cheap, starting at just €10.
