Tips and tricks to help you find cheap flights from Edinburgh to Faro

Useful information about the flight from Edinburgh to Faro

Sunshine, history and wonderful wildlife in Faro

Faro has been the capital city of the Algarve region in Portugal since early medieval times, but there has been a town on the site since ancient times. The earthquake which hit the area in 1755, followed by a tsunami, devastated many villages on the Algarve, but due to the protection offered by the fabulously beautiful Ria Formosa lagoon, Faro remained relatively undamaged, which further confirmed its status as a reliable place for the premier city. Now culture and wildlife walk hand in hand in this wonderful city, which makes for a great holiday anytime, try a walk around the Cathedral of Faro, which has been around since early medieval times.

Faro facts

Faro is mild all year round, but beach tourists tend to travel to the Algarve from April to October and in summer the temperature ranges from 27° to 35°C with nearly 100% sunshine. Winters are mild: 8-17°C, and this is a great time for a cultural city break as Faro is far less full than during peak season. Try around September 7th for the best of sun and culture, as this is Faro's "birthday" when the city was officially given the status of "city", and you can enjoy 2 weeks of music, parties and exhibitions. For bikers, there is the Faro International Motorcycle Rally in mid July.

Local Faro information

All in all, the cost of living and prices are lower in Portugal than in the United Kingdom. Eating out and groceries are much cheaper, especially in markets, which, like in France, are of a high standard and a great way to sample local culture too. Portuguese cuisine is good, and they have a wonderful tradition of great cakes and bakery goods, as well as seafood.
