Being the capital of the Algarve, Faro is a city with much more to visit than visitors/tourists think.
Although this is starting to change, the capital of the Algarve has more advantages than just a gateway to beaches, caves and pretty seaside villages.
Without a doubt, the beaches, caves and beautiful villages by the sea are beautiful, but there is something more to explore.

Culture, History, Architecture, Gastronomy and the Barrier Islands make Faro a city to visit.

Faro has seen it all throughout its history.
It was prosperous during the Roman Empire, Muslim rule and during the Portuguese maritime epics. It has survived several invasions, including the Napoleonic invasions, looting by North African privateers, looting by English privateers, earthquakes, civil war... well, it is a beautiful and resilient city, which makes visiting this city even more fun.

Here are some photos about Faro but... this post is just a tease of the real post about Faro, which I will publish in the next few days.

Stay tunned 😉

Christmas isn't that far away... just 13 days until Christmas Day🌠.
Our cities, towns and villages are all lit up, Christmas markets are already taking place, people are already organizing their Christmas gift shopping, and we can already feel a different energy in the air. This is one of the most beautiful times of the year.

I know this little Christmas video is amateurish, but I did it with passion

I wish everyone Happy Holidays, with great affection... a season full of peace, love, friendship and happiness.
Family, Friends, Partners, Followers, Guests, Visitors... 🎅 Merry Christmas !

Sometimes, many people ask on social media what the weather will be like in this or that month of the year, in the Algarve.
Well, Algarve is very diverse.
Of course, it is not possible to predict what the weather will be like in a month or more.
However, it is possible to check what previous years were like to get a general idea.

As a new year approaches in less than a month, here is some information about what a few days in January 2024 were like in a certain area in the Algarve... and with photos.
Note that last January was very hot for this time of year. Typically, temperatures are lower.

Photo 1: Lagos - 4th of January - 18º degrees - Cloudy skies and chowers

Photo 2: Galé Beach ( Albufeira ) - 5th of January - 17º degrees - slightly cloudy sky

Photo 3: Praia Nova Beach - 10th of January - 18º degrees -slightly cloudy sky

Photo 4: Senhora da Rocha Chapel - 11th of January - 17º degrees - slightly cloudy sky

Photo 5: Albufeira ( Inatel ) - 25th of January - 21º degrees - slightly cloudy sky

All photos were taken by me.

Autumn? November? Well, weather was amazing today... 21° degrees celsius, light breeze and wonderful light.

I never get tired to say "I 💚❤️ the Algarve...
I 💚❤️ my beautiful region.
It was a perfect November day to enjoy a full day tour with two ladies from Chicago.

All photos were taken by me today

Low season in the Algarve ( Chapter 1 )
For those who like to travel in the Algarve in the quieter season and like to enjoy a little more peace and quiet to visit the villages, towns, monuments, beaches and cliffs and even enjoy the cafés and restaurants without too many tourists, here are some photos.

Algarve is special all year around. It doesn´t matter if it´s autumn or winter, spring or summer, the Algarve has always that special atmosphere

All the photos were taken by me in different parts of the Algarve. I know these photos look amateurish, but they were taken with passion.

Greetings from this beautiful region... The Algarve 🌞😎

Loulé Market ( Algarve )... this morning.
What an extraordinary atmosphere.

The Producers' Market, known as the Saturday Outdoor Market, takes place weekly in the streets surrounding the Loulé Municipal Market, always on Saturdays.

Among many products today, we found some of inestimable value and identity of our region, as well as oranges, pomegranates, almonds, dried figs, carob, honey and regional liqueurs.
The variety of cheeses, sausages, honey and even codfish fills our soul... well, I love these mornings at the markets.

It is interesting to say that many foreign languages can be heard on the streets, a sign that not only Portuguese residents love the markets but also foreign residents and visitors/tourists. It is wonderful to feel this diversity of nationalities.

Did you know... that the Loulé Municipal Market, with 234 photovoltaic panels installed on the roof, is almost 50% 💡 energetically self-sustainable!

The video I created is a bit amateur but reflects the portuguese passion for local markets.
The song is from Marta Pereira da Costa and is called "Encontro". Marta is a great portuguese musician and plays the portuguese guitar.
Enjoy

What an amazing day, even with clouds and some rain ( two days ago ).
Weather forecasts, while generally reliable, are not always perfect.
A cloudy day in a travel destination like the Algarve can really improve the experience as expectations are low because of the forecast but tourists may even be surprised with a great visit.

This was a tour with 4 amazing canadians visitors, in Loulé, Albufeira and Porches. They enjoyed a lot the visit to that area. Well, it turned out to be an excellent day and at the end everyone was happy and I had the opportunitu to improve my french.

Merci beaucoup Joanne, Lianne, France et Donald, pour la merveilleuse compagnie et pour m'avoir permis de pratiquer mon français.
( Thank you very much Joanne, Lianne, France and Donald, for the wonderful company and for allowing me to practice my French )

Here are some photos taken during the tour.
Even though it has been cloudy and rainy, Albufeira is always a great place to visit.

The atmosphere feels quieter and more serene, giving tourists a chance to experience the region in a different, perhaps more relaxed, light.

So, even if the forecast seems to predict a gray day, that doesn't mean the trip will be boring. You have to have a positive spirit and embrace the unexpected climate as it can create surprising and memorable moments.

For me, as a guide, nothing makes me happier when at the end of the day people say that I live in a wonderful region and that they had a magnificent day. Their smiles are priceless.

Warm Regards from the Algarve (22º degrees today... not bad at all).

Day off in the Algarve... Municipality of Albufeira.
Even a local tour guide deserves a break on the beach. Nothing better than spending a day of sun and beach with your wife... also with good food and a beautiful sangria.
What a wonderful autumn day... amazing weather in October.
This is the Algarve... a few minutes ago I was talking to a Danish couple who were visiting the Algarve for the first time and it was nice to know that they didn't want their vacation to end. They want to come back again.
For a local Algarvia tour guide like me, it is a pleasure to feel that people want to return to our region again... to our Algarve. And they all say the same: " you live in a beautiful place".
An excellent weekend for everyone.
Greetings from Galé

Autumn is here. Summer always leaves nostalgia.
Well, at least it makes me nostalgic because my family and I are great lovers of summer... The light clothes, the flipflops, the beach, the warm mornings, that sangria in a seaside restaurant, summer lunches where fish is king and that cold portuguese beer at sunset while talking with friends... I will miss summer.
This amateur film of mine is my tribute to the end of summer 2024. It´s only one minute of footage.

The Autumn Equinox marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.
In 2024, in our Hemisphere, the Northern Hemisphere, this event took place today, on 22 September at 12:44 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

So we'll have to wait for summer 2025, until 21 June 2025, a Saturday.
Well, let´s be positive... Next year there will be more summer 🌞😎⛵️

First of all, a great day for everyone.
As it is Sunday, why not a little quiz just for fun...
I photographed these photos in the countryside of the Algarve... let's say somewhere in the Algarve 🤔.
The question is:
🤔Where were these photos taken?

I know, I know, a couple of photos look like these were taken in Morocco but it is in the Algarve.

Greetings from the south of Portugal.

Where is this beautiful beach in the Algarve?
It´s Quiz time, my friends!!!
The beauty of the Algarve should be shared, right?
We all agree with that.
But this time we're going to reverse the roles and I'll be the one asking where I took these photos.
Where is this beach? 🤔🤔🤔
Let's see how many of you get the answer right... and don't be ashamed of failing.
It´s Quiz time, my friends!!!

A few viewpoints in Albuferia Municipality ( Chapter 1 )

Viewpoints are an essential part of the experience of visiting the Algarve, in this case, providing panoramic views that allow you to appreciate the beauty of Albufeira and capture good photographs.

Each viewpoint in Albufeira captures the town's unique blend of natural beauty and charm.
I will show you in several chapters, the viewpoints of Albufeira's Municipality.

I came across Quantunna at Loulé Market in the Algarve, this morning during a tour.
When you hear the name tuna you immediately associate with the tuna fish right?
Well, in Portugal Tuna, not to be confused with the fish, has been a tradition in Portuguese universities for centuries. A Tuna is a group of students and academics still come together to sing, dance, and play music to preserve this historic tradition.

In this case, this group of University students is Quantunna, from Coimbra University and this was their performance at Loulé Market, in the Algarve, this morning.
You see, the Algarve is always surprising locals and visitors.
Come visit the Algarve and you will not be disappointed.
