Crossed the border from Spanish Andalucia in this travel, I went to southern part of Portugal, to Algarves capital Faro city. I went there in cold season and even the weather was nice it wasn't warm enough to go swim at the beach, too early season to be there.
Description from Wikipedia:
The Ria Formosa lagoon attracted human from the Palaeolithic age until the end of pre-history. The first settlements date from the 4th century BC, during the period of Phoenician colonization of the western Mediterranean. Between the 2nd and 8th century, the city was under the domain of the Romans, then the Byzantines and later Visigoths, before being conquered by the Moors in 713.From the 3rd century onwards and during the Visigothic period, it was the site of an Episcopal see, the Ancient Diocese of Ossoba (306-688). The Byzantine presence has endured in the city walls' towers that were built during the Byzantine period.
With the advent of Moorish rule in the 8th century, Ossonoba retained its status as the most important town in the southwest corner of the Iberian Peninsula. Thanks watching!
