Faro, a dynamic city.
#designFAO takes place in sunny Faro, a charming and authentic Portuguese city.
With lowest temperatures of 15 degrees, it’s always fun to stroll its historic streets, join a boat trip at Parque Natural Ria Formosa, visit the fishing community and indulge in the tastiest and freshest food ever.
