Faro
Faro
Faro is the gateway to the Algarve; so if you want a wonderful holiday in the sun, exploring Portugal’s beautiful golden southern coast, then flights to Faro are exactly what you need. The city itself is worth visiting, but most people who fly to Faro do so because it is the capital of the Algarve, and the perfect spingboard point for a Portuguese sun-holiday.
Whether you’re playing a few rounds on the perfectly manicured fairways of a Vlilamoura golf course, sprawling out on golden sands in Albufeira, or heading east of Faro to visit the lesser explored areas of Portugal’s protected southern coastline, the Algarve has the perfect holiday for you.
What to Eat in Faro
- Faro, and indeed the whole of Portugal’s Algarve, is well known for its fresh and beautifully cooked seafood.
- The local recipes are obviously the ones to try – conquilhas à Algarvia, cod ceviche, and cataplana de marisco are all unmissable Algarvian eats.
- It’s not all seafood here though; if you see a Portuguese stew called ‘Feijoada’ on any menus, it’s a hearty, tasty dish made with beans, beef and pork, and well worth trying.
What to see in Faro
Faro city itself is nowhere near as big a draw for visitors as the sun-drenched resort towns of the Algarve coast, but it’s certainly worth visiting if you have the time. Faro is a delightful, vibrant city with a charming walled Old Town full of wonderful little boutiques, cafés and restaurants for you to explore.
If you fly to Faro, it’s worth making the short journey to Ilha Deserta, just a short boat ride from the Old Town. Ilha Deserta (also known as Ilha da Barreta) is a stunning, tranquil island in the Ria Formosa National Park, and you’ll thoroughly enjoy a day spent on its white beaches and in its quiet, crystal clear waters. There are no buildings on the island except one restaurant which cooks using solar power – it’s not the cheapest, so if that doesn’t appeal to you, bring your own food to eat (and bring a bag to take away your rubbish with you)!
Most people who fly to Faro are moving on elsewhere in the Algarve, to stay in one of the beautiful beachside resorts that make the south of Portugal one of Europe’s favourite destinations.

Alicante
Alicante
If you have never been to Alicante, you should do so as soon as possible. Because the sunny city on the Costa Blanca has so much more to offer than its great sandy beach. We reveal the best tips and hotspots for Alicante in Spain!
From Weeze Airport, the flight to Alicante Airport with Ryanair takes just under two hours and 45 minutes. From there, it’s only half an hour by bus directly to the beach or the city centre of Alicante – super practical and uncomplicated.
Explanada de España
The first impression of Alicante is overwhelming: what a wonderfully long sandy beach that kisses the turquoise sea here! And that is by no means all there is to discover. The beach is adjoined by the Explanada de Espana: the promenade with palm trees and mosaics is perfect for getting an overview while strolling along and looking out to the sea.
This also works wonderfully in winter, because even then the sea is still warm enough to swim a little, and on longer walks or hikes you don’t break out in a sweat!
Castillo de Santa Bárbara on the Monte Benacantil
You can see it from the beach, the Castle de Santa Bárbara on Benacantil Mountain. Even the hike up to the castle is beautiful, and the building itself is worth a visit.
For the less sporty: There is also a cheap lift that takes visitors up to the castle. Once at the top, you look out over the whole city and the surrounding countryside – what a view! The Castillo also offers various exhibitions that focus on the history of the castle.
Coffee, tapas and regional wines
Did the “climb” of Monte Benacantil make you hungry? Then take a look in the centre of Alicante to see what the city has to offer in the way of delicacies. The countless restaurants offer typical Spanish tapas and super tasty wines from the region. For coffee lover, “Madness Coffee” offers hot specialities. Keep an eye on the clock – because many Spaniards still keep it very precise with the important siësta, the lunch break, and allow themselves to close their shops between 1 and 4 pm.
On the other hand, the evenings are getting later: Spaniards usually eat between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. – especially in summer, when it´s hotter during the day.
Sporty on the road by bike
Cycling is the best way to explore Alicante – in summer as well as in the winter months. Bike rental stations such as Blue Bike offer electric bikes and regular bikes for rent by the hour or day. Pedal towards Palmeral, where you can take a short break in the shady park and at a great waterfall and cuddle the park’s resident cats. And towards Playa de San Juan, you’ll find a great beach to relax on.
