When walking in many areas of the algarve street sellers will offer you gypsy gold, don't buy it it's not gold. Also you'll be offered drugs if your under 30, simply decline and they will politely disapear as quickly as they appeared. Leave a Comment

We arrived in Faro off the train and immediately started downtown to find our accommodation (with a totally hopeless map!!) We were speaking to each other in English, and wearing backpacks, when a fellow casually dressed approached us and in a posh British accent asked if we spoke English. We were on the alert immediately but also did not want to be rude.
He told us he had lost his money (thieved) and was only a couple of dollars short of the bus fare home, could we help him out. This was really hard to do...but we said no. We said we only had our credit cards. We kept walking.
I felt really really bad until we got to our accommodation (no help from the map) and told the hostelier - he said we did absolutely the right thing. It's a scam.

When buying anything that is sold as leather keep your witts about you as many of the goods are fakes and good fakes at that with all the right markings and many been sprayed with a leather scent. Easiest way to tell is look at the price, if it looks to good to be true then it is. Leave a Comment

Faro's island is one of the most remarkable cases of clandestine building, offering "discreet" cheap renting. You must have a friend that knows a friend of someone that has a friend... We had, and that allowed us to stay cheaply in one of the legal houses (I think) of the island. The construction is chaotic but, with such a narrow stripe of sand, everybody is close to the water. Most of the irregular houses were destroyed, but the remains are not exactly an good example of city planning. In the positive side, it's a quiet and safe area for families.
Google Earth is perfect to give you an idea of what I mean! Leave a Comment
