This style of design is known as azulejo and the Baroque church dates back to 1730. Nearby, there is a lovely cultural centre that hosts a variety of art exhibitions as well as musical performances. Faro is also a great day trip from the villa - sightseeing includes the Arco de Vila, a neoclassical waterside gateway and the Milreu ruins. Just 10 minutes walk up a hillside lies the mysterious Roman-era mosaics, including a very well-preserved fish design and the inner workings of an ancient bath. Its also a great place to tuck into some tasty local fare, such as arroz de linguerao, a hearty rice dish with razor clams and fresh seafood. For dessert, try some delicious pastels de nata, an egg custard tart, dusted with cinnamon.
