...Earlier this year I visited Portugal, landing in Faro and staying approximately 20 miles from Faro in a small town near Loule.
The main tourist occupation would seem to be golf as there are golfing parks everywhere, however if you visit the local towns you will find a variety of other things to occupy your time.
