Faro, located on the southern tip of Portugal with               a low population of about 40,000, is the small provincial capital of               the Algarve. It also serves as the gateway to the many resorts that dot               the surrounding area.

While it is not a competition for those consolidate and famous resorts'               locations and facilities, it has it's own attractions.

            

Loulé is 18km inland from Faro and, not being a resort,               is one of the few places in the area that offers a whiff of the               region’s pre-tourist-boom atmosphere.

It is accessible by               approximately hourly bus from Faro and train. Both are great low profile destinations if you know what I mean ;)
