Sites & Bites: Tiborna tasting and Faro Old Town tour

Tuck into the tastes of the Algarve on this half-day foodie tour in Faro. With hotel pick-up included from Albufeira and Armacoao de Pera, it's an ideal way to explore the region's history-soaked capital, laidback lifestyle and, of course, local flavours.The tour kicks off at Arco da Vila, a neoclassical gateway leading into Faro's compact old town. From there, your guide will show you through narrow cobbled lanes lined with tiled facades and wrought-iron balconies. Stops include the Town Hall, the Baroque Faro Cathedral and the Municipal Museum. The latter's a former convent that holds a solid collection of religious art and archaeological finds. Make sure to look out for traditional azulejos along the way. These hand-painted ceramic tiles tell stories in cobalt and white and can be found tucked away in unexpected corners. Things shift from oldy worldy to hands-on at Faro Story Spot, where you can expect sensory exhibits, multimedia displays and even a chance to taste a traditional Tiborna. This simple yet sublime snack involves rustic bread drizzled with olive oil and topped with seasonal ingredients. It's served with a glass of local wine, juice, or water – you can take your pick.After some free in the old town, head over to Tertulia Algarvia, a small restaurant and cultural centre known for keeping regional food traditions alive. Here, you'll finish off your tour with the Algarvian Trilogy, a mini dessert trio featuring fig, almond, and carob – three ingredients that define the local pantry – paired with a smooth shot of Algarvian liqueur.
