Ria Formosa Natural Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

Very calm National Park near the Faro airport. You can watch wild flamingos there and salt extraction pits. On the other side is the beach and I can only recommend a round tour.

Faro Motorcycle Club Roundabout

Highlight • Monument

A roundabout in honor of bikers and very close to the Faro motorcycle club, which organizes a large gathering every year.

An appeal is being made for biker safety in order to have 0 deaths.
