Air Transat has reached a tentative agreement with the union representing its pilots regarding the renewal of their collective agreement. This agreement marks a significant step in the process, eliminating the risk of a strike and allowing our customers to travel with peace of mind. It will be submitted to members for ratification in the coming days. Our operations are returning to normal. More details here.
Often passed over as tourists head from the airport to nearby resort towns, Faro is well worth visiting in its own right. Full of wonderfully preserved sights and well-maintained parks and squares, this is a city that deserves final destination status after a long flight.
La Capela dos Ossos: A chapel built from the bones and skulls of over a thousand monks. Located behind the Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo church, this ghoulish sight is not to be missed.
La Cidade Velha: Quietly meandering cobblestone streets and squares surrounded by medieval walls make up the Cidade Velha, or Old Town.
Praia de Faro (the town’s beach): The endless stretch of sand is a popular spot for windsurfing, sailing or just plain relaxing.
