AIESEC FARO
Faro is a city with 41,307 inhabitants, Capital District Faro,
the region, sub-region, and even the old province of Algarve
which occupies an area of 4960 km ² and where they live 426
386 inhabitants (2007). It is home to a municipality with 201.59
km ² and 58,698 inhabitants (2008), subdivided into six
parishes. The municipality is bordered to the north and west
by the municipality of São Brás de Alportel, east of Olhão,
Loulé by west and south coast is the Ocean Atlantic. Through
Faro airport, the city is the second largest external input of
the country (following the Lisbon), which gives a valence
distinctly cosmopolitan.
The Ria Formosa lagoon attracted human
occupants from the Palaeolithic age until the
end of pre-history. During that time a
settlement grew up – Ossónoba – which was
an important town during the hert period of
Roman occupation and, according to
historians, the forerunner of present-day Faro.
From the 3rd century onwards and during the
Visigothic period it was the site of an
Episcopal see.
WWiitthh tthhee aaddvveenntt ooff MMoooorriisshh rule in the 8th century Ossónoba retained its status as the most
important town in the southwest corner of the Iberian Peninsula. In the 9th century it became
the capital of a short-lived princedom and was fortified with a ring of defensive walls. At this
time the name Santa Maria began to be used instead of Ossónoba. Later on the town was
known as Harun (from a local Muslim chieftain), hence its current name, Faro. During the 500
years of Moorish rule there were some Jewish inhabitants in Faro who wrote copies of the Old
Testament. One of Faro's historical names in Arabic is بة شون The Moors were defeated by .أخ
the forces of the Portuguese King Afonso III in 1249. With the decline of the importance of the
city of Silves, Faro took over the role of administration of the Algarve area.
All of the Algarve’s best-known dishes can be sampled in Faro.
But anyone who wants to try the typical fishermen’s recipes
should sample the local fish soup and the traditional razor clam
risotto.
Choosing from among the many local cakes and desserts is a
hard task because they all make extensive use of the tasty local
figs and almonds. The best way to round off a meal is a glass of
fig brandy or “medronho”, a spirit made with the fruit of the
strawberry tree.
The Faro International Motorcycle Rally is a famous festival,
renowned in Europe for being one of the biggest of its kind.
The student’s festival (Semana Académica da Universidade do
Algarve), organized every year by students from the University of
the Algarve, is also an important event in Faro.

natural border of channels, islands and marshes, Tavira
