Faro
The busy industrial town and port of Faro (altitude: sea level), chief town of its district in the south of Portugal, lies at the north end of a lagoon dotted with saltpans and islands. Fruit, cork and fish are shipped out through its small, sheltered harbor. Its airport (7km/4.5mi southwest) has made it the focal point of the whole of the Algarve's tourist trade, especially since a new, three million passenger capacity terminal was opened.
