When 2 lost souls swam in the fishbowl, Pink Floyd met Beatles and Elvis in Faro..

The last couple of days in Portugal have been an absolute dream! I moved to Faro, a charming spot in the Algarve that’s popular with sun-seekers from across Europe. Unlike the party vibes of Albufeira, Faro is perfect for those who just want to relax, soak up the sun, and enjoy a cocktail or two. In winter, it's a peaceful escape with the sun casting a beautiful glow on the white-washed town and its stunning Iberian and Moorish architecture. The people here are so friendly, and while many speak a bit of English, they really appreciate any effort to speak Portuguese. It’s just the perfect mix of laid-back beauty and warm hospitality!

The town Square....

Pic: Arco da vila , This opening in Faro’s walls goes all the way back to Moorish times, and as you pass through the gateway that 1,000-year-old stonework is still visible.

A long alley behind the wall ...towards the cathedral.

Cathedral of Faro, The cathedral was consecrated in the name of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the late 13th century by the Archbisoph of Braga.

I love the orange trees ...

Statue of Dom Afonso III , the first King of Portugal .

The theater ...

I bumped to plenty of colourful houses .. really like it .

What Portugal famous for, Sardines ... lots of them in the tin , grim like 100 years ago ..

Bumped to Santa and he got me present.

The famous Mateus wine ... sipping on this beautiful nectar whilst listening to pink floyd and beatles and Elvis ... and watching the sunset , made one the happiest person on earth.

The Igreja do Carmo in Faro, with its Baroque façade and twin bell towers is one of the finest churches on the Algarve. The Carmelite church was built throughout much of the 18th and 19th centuries, starting in 1719. Disaster struck in 1755 when the great earthquake that hit Portugal badly damaged the church. However, a new façade was designed by mason Diogo Gonçalves including the now iconic bell towers.

I really against Aquarium, Sea World or Zoo... i dont like how they treat the fish and all of the sea creature, there will be no way a dolphin would love to do the act over and over again ... I strongly advised to never visit Sea World or Aquarium😡

The street in historical city of Faro ...

Oh my god , the train made me laugh , so ancient ... i feel like we were back to 1930 .

Churros.... and i allowed to buy only 1 pc , saweeeettt

Can’t help to make pics of them .. and bought a 2020 calenders from them.

I do enjoy Faro, totally different as Albufeira, but so cosy and lively, i spent every afternoon watching sunset and listened to Elvis and Beatles ... , I will be back for sure not only for the view but also for the hospitality and the food.

I am so sad to leave, but life must go on ... till next time Faro ......

Faro , Dec 9th, .. next trip the most Romantic city of the world ... Paris ❤️
