The history of this city begins long before the arrival of international tourists… Or maybe not! Starting in the 8th century BC, Zé do Mar takes us on an exploration of the cultures that built Faro. From the concentration of Roman legionnaires to the International Motorbike Concentration. From small trades with the Phoenicians to the great trades during the Discoveries. From the first book to be printed in the country to the first Sporting Club Farense match. From Ossónoba to Santa Maria Ibn Harun and finally to Faro.
The beauty, complexity and mystery of the Ria Formosa setS the Algarve region apart from any other. This unique ecosystem has been evolving for over 8,000 years, but only in recent centuries has the action of man left its mark. Marino, a friendly seahorse, will share with you the best beaches, the most incredible sites, some of the species you can find there and ways to help preserve this natural treasure.
Come in, sit down and enjoy. As well as being declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, the Mediterranean Diet offers a diversity of aromas, flavours and textures that are incomparable. Zé do Mar will introduce you to this ancient heritage, which even today serves as an ‘excuse’ for socialising, sharing and feasting.
