Hi

I am hoping to book a short, relaxing, week-end trip to Faro in June. I have seen this hotel which looks perfect but obviously it isn't cheap. I don't mind paying as long as it is worth the money. Does anyone have any comments please?

I am hoping the weather mid-June is normally settled and sunny.

Thanks for any comments

we r going to albufeira next week and were wandering if any one knows of any mosques we can pray in and any halal food/meat shops. thx

My partner and I are arriving in the morning whilst friends are arriving in the afternoon so we will need to kill some considerable time waiting.
Is there a left luggage facility at Faro and if so would it be sensible and possible to catch a bus to and from Faro Town or Beach.
With thanks in advance for responses

Thanks for all the information about trains to Seville, it is very helpful and much appreciated!

I was wondering if there was anything of particular interest happening in the Algarve around Christmas time, or anything that you could recommend to seeor do. We are there from the 20th until the 27th, getting there isnt a problem as we have a car.

Thanks!

I'm going to Faro for Christmas and saw that Seville isn't that far away. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a train service that ran from Faro to Seville and how often it ran, how long it took? I will also have the car but read that it is really bad for parking and driving through, has anyone experienced different?

Thanks!

My girlfriend and I are scheduled to arrive in Faro 24 December at 16.05. From there we want to go directly to Sevilla. Our only option is to take the 17.20 bus from EVA. I'd like to know whether it's possible to reserve and if so, how to. And might we miss this bus, do you happen to know if they also operate on Christmas Day. Thanks in advance,

Hi,
We are planning to drive from Sevilla to Faro and then park our rental at the station and take the train to Lisboa for a couple of days. Does anyone know about the parking facilities at Faro's train station? How much would it cost?
Or is it not worth the trouble and would it be better to drive to lisboa?
We are kind of afraid ending up with high parking charges if we take the car to lisboa.

Regards

How many hours would it take to drive from Faro to Tarifa, the southern tip of Spain ? Would there be a bus or train service ?

The 24th of December, my girlfriend and I are flying to Faro and plan to travel directly to Sevilla from there. However, we land at 16.05 and the last bus leaves at 17.20 (EVA). Do we have enough time to go from the airport to the bus station?

Thanks in advance,
Mart Kamphuis

Could you suggest some cheap accomodations in Faro or not far from there? I mean guest houses, small hotels or even a private accomodations.

Greetings from the US! I am planning an extensive Eurail trip through five countries and the only place it seems to break down is between the Algarve and Spain. It looks like there is a train station at Santo Antonio and another in Spain at Huelva...but nothing connecting them. Are there buses regularly? How great a distance is this? What do you folks do for this short journey?

While I am at it here are my travel plans, please feel free to comment. Traveling from Madrid to Faro in one day - I know it's a long day. Train, and whatever it takes for that last jump between Spain/Portugal. Two days in Faro with local travel by bus or car for exploring. Train to Lisbon for one day. Train to Biarritz, another long day. Are those all reliable trains? Many thanks!

Can anybody suggest language schools in Faro or surroundings with a good reputation for a 1 week intensive course in portuguese with emphasis on conversation? I am a 'mature' student and would prefer to avoid the larger teaching establishments although any feedback would be welcome. Obrigado.

Greetings:

Can anyone tell me whether it is feasible to go from Cadiz to Faro? If so, how? Perhaps Sevilla is a better departure city for getting to Faro.

Also, any insights on nightlife and beaches in Faro is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Is there anything special going on in Faro on december 16th - 20th?

Hello there,

I was wondering if you can help me...I am looking to visit Faro with my partner on my week off in February.

Is it worth coming at this time of year? Are there lots of interesting things to do, I do not want to be in a touristy area, it would be nice to stay where the locals are.

Sorry to be so ignorant, I've looked on a few sites but haven't really got into the nitty gritty yet. Just looking for some advice on where would be a good area to stay in near Faro.

Thanks x

A friend (Senior, quiet non smoker) likes to go for a long stay in the Algarve, preferably around Faro. He is trying to find simple but clean and very reasonable accomodations not too far from the beach, for the time - around Dec.16 - Feb.16 (2 months). Hostels or private welcome, with or without breakfast. He speaks english only.
Any help or tips most welcome!
Thank you, Norbert
