to Faro
Fly to Faro where the glorious Algarve stretches across Portugal's
southern coast, fringed by beautiful sandy beaches and bathed
in warm Gulf Stream waters. Your XL Airways flight to Faro
lands you amidst the lush greens of some of the world's most
acclaimed golf courses, sophisticated beachfront hotels and

Faro For Short Sunshine Breaks
Flights to Faro are some of the shortest from the UK, making
the Algarve the ideal choice for a quick weekend or midweek
break away. There's something for everybody from unspoiled
beaches and acclaimed golf courses to exclusive sports, health
and fitness spas allowing a few days' indulgence away from
everyday stresses.
Faro for Blue Flag Beaches
The Algarve's beaches comprise nearly 200km of beautiful shoreline,
lapped by warm Atlantic waters and blessed by gentle breezes.
From sweeping expanses of soft dunes to tiny hidden coves,
nearly a third have been granted the European Blue Flag for
cleanliness and clarity of water with tourist development
more pronounced to the west of Faro.

Faro
For Superb Watersports
In general the further west you head from Faro, the better
the surfing beaches although conditions are pretty good across
the entire Algarve coast. The consistent winds off Sagres
are perfect for windsurfing with Martinhal one of the best
spots in Europe. Surf camps are common on the rugged coastal
stretches around Lagos and Sagres and the increasingly popular
sport of kite surfing can be found on many of the beaches
around Albufeira and closer to Faro.
Faro For Championship Golf
The mild sunny climate has transformed this sheltered area
into a golfers' paradise of over 30 high quality courses scattered
across the Algarve, many of these attaining world class status.
Although all are readily accessible, the most exclusive courses
tend to cluster closer to Faro and include such illustrious
names as San Lorenzo, Vale de Lobo, Quinta do Lago, Pine Cliffs
and the magnificent courses of Vilamoura which include the
prestigious new Victoria.
Faro For Swimming With The Dolphins
Head west from Faro towards Albufeira and Guia and you'll
find the conservation and educationally themed park of Zoomarine.
Focussed on animal rehabilitation, the park houses an Aquarium,
tropical birds and birds of prey and treats guests to dolphin,
seal and sea lion shows. Zoomarine's dolphin interaction programme
gives participants a truly memorable experience but is extremely
popular so places must be reserved in advance.
Faro For Europe's Windy Southwest Corner
Travelling west from Faro you'll eventually reach land's end
at Europe's south western tip and the beautiful town of Sagres,
set beside jagged cliffs and smooth sandy beaches and surrounded
by wild and unspoiled scenery. Jutting out into the Atlantic
Ocean, the windy Cape of St Vincent remains a major landmark
not only to Europe's migrating birds but also to passing ships
whose safety is ensured by the Cape's powerful lighthouse.
