Faro
The Algarve's quiet gateway — lagoon islands, a walled old town, and far fewer crowds than the resorts.
The flights
Why £43?
That's the total return fare in GBP — not a "from" price. When you book, the airline pays us a small commission (around £1–£3); your price doesn't change. Want the full weekend cost, including transfers and food? See the £50 reality.
Cheap eats & cheap thrills
- Cataplana seafood stew, shared.
- A ferry to the sandbar beaches of Ilha Deserta.
- Grilled fish at a market café for a few euros.
