MORE INFO
Faro is a practical Algarve base rather than a flashy resort town. It has an airport, a walkable old center, access to beaches and islands, and enough services for longer stays. It is especially attractive for retirees, slow travelers, and remote workers who want sun without committing to the busier resort strips. The remote-work scene is smaller than Lisbon or Porto, but the quality-of-life fundamentals are strong.
