Property for sale in Faro
Though for many of the Algarve's 5 million visitors each year Faro is a gateway to the resorts of the west, the city is in fact one of the more appealing places to live in the region. Faro's quaint old fishing harbour, medieval ruins and historic architecture in its old quarter ensure that the essence of Portuguese character remains intact. It's an excellent location for people looking for property near the amenities of a city, but close to the coastline and natural beauty of the Algarve. Faro has a variety of attractions, including the bizarre, unique Chapel of Bones - a 19th Century church with its walls lined with human skulls. Less macabre sights include the Maritime Museum and the excellent Ethnographic Museum, featuring exhibitions about the region's distinctive culture. The Igreja de Sao Francisco is another impressive building, filled with gilded pillars and baroque details. Faro also sits a relatively short journey from many of the Algarve's most popular locations, including Almancil, Albufeira, Sagres, and Lagos.
