Faro or Albufeira? That is the question!

No visit to Portugal could ever be complete without a stop by the warm, sunlit shore of the Algarve, by the Atlantic Ocean. More than a seaside destination, the region is a vivid depository of a rich culture, as well as an important economic center. The only decision that really remains to be made is: Faro or Albufeira? That is the question!
Choosing between two of the most prominent spots in the Algarve can be hard. But here are a few points of attraction in both cities we were thinking we’d present before leaving the decision up to you.
The best golf courses in the Algarve

Most people choose the ever sunny Portuguese shores of the Atlantic for the obvious reason: for a seaside holiday with endless days spent on the beach, for water-sports or simply recreation. But there are those who have been in love with a special sport: golf. The best golf courses in the Algarve welcome international golf enthusiasts, amateurs and professionals, host tournaments and special events.
5 Things to do in Faro
Faro Airport, Algarve, Portugal
Those of you who will be landing in Faro Airport have a great treat in store for your holiday, not that Faro Airport is anything extraordinarily special but more along the lines of where Faro airport is located and what the region means for your holiday.
The city of Faro is the major city of the Algarve region of southern Portugal, a region world-renown for its incredible year-round weather, great coastline, food and welcoming people.
Despite its location, Faro is still pretty much a working-city and most travelers to the region will only be passing through, because they’ll be landing here and then heading to the resort of their choice. Thankfully being such a well-known area and tourism being such a major part of the economy, you can find a plethora of Faro transfers services ready and willing to take you to your Algarve destination.
Algarve Portugal
The Algarve region of southern Portugal is one of the most well-known holiday destinations, not only in Europe but in the world as well, and with its pretty beaches, plethora of resorts and picturesque whitewashed towns, it’s not hard to understand why that is so.
However that’s just the surface of what the Algarve has to offer, its pull comes from a combination of the factors we mentioned earlier and the weather, and the people and the culture in general.
Wherever you may go in the Algarve Portugal there’s a specific type of experience that awaits you, because you see the region is not only a wonderful line of sunny coast, even thought that’s what the general image of the place is, most of the attraction does come from that but there are also inland resorts, towns, and fishing-villages which will offer you a different experience from each other.
