Nature and local area

Published on Aug, 2024

It was really beautiful and unforgettable. We visited 2 places. The first one was a natuer lagoon, and another one is a local island, where fishermans are living. The time during the boat was not long so we did not get bord. At the end we were able to walk around old town of Faro.
