The region coincides with the district of Faro, and has as its administrative centre the city of Faro, where are located both the region's international airport (Faro Airport) and public university (University of the Algarve).
Tourism
and related activities are extensive and make up the bulk of the
Algarve's summer economy. Fish, seafood and fruit production, which
