Faro, the Algarve’s administrative capital, is located in the south of Portugal. The municipality comprises 4 parishes: United Parishes of Conceição and Estoi, Santa Bárbara de Nexe Parish, Montenegro Parish and United Parishes of Sé and São Pedro, having around 65.000 inhabitants distributed by 210 km2 and being around 30% of that area part of the Ria Formosa Natural Reserve.

The city is south bordered by a 19 km length dune, interrupted by openings that connect the sea to the Ria Formosa, forming 3 main islands. Faro is a millenary city to be (re)discovered.

The pre-roman town called Ossónoba was one of the most important urban centres in the south of the Iberian Peninsula.
Today, due to its location, as well as for being a capital city, Faro has the most important infrastructures and public services existent in the Algarve region.
