Review:
Faro, Portugal is the capital of the Algarve region of Portugal. The city has a long history with many interesting attractions such as the Arco de Vila, a neoclassical gate located on the same location as the original Moorish gate. The old town has cobblestone streets and historic buildings just ripe for exploring, such as the 13th century Faro Cathedral. Museum lovers will appreciate the Municipal Museum, which displays artifacts from the medieval and prehistoric periods on the property of a 16th century convent. During October, the weather is mild and temperatures are cool but not too cold, making it a popular time to visit.
