The Top Art Galleries in the Algarve
The Algarve attracts nature-lovers for its idyllic beaches and stunning coastline, but there are plenty of activities to do indoors as well, including visiting the local art galleries. Showcasing both local and international pieces, they provide a closer look at south Portugal‘s culture. Here’s our pick of the best.
1. Côrte-Real Gallery
Art Gallery
Galería do Arte Arco
This is one of Faro‘s best galleries for contemporary art, and it’s also one of the smallest. Sitting on the ancient city walls, the views don’t stop within the gallery but they extend outside too, including sweeping panoramas of the Ria Formosa. Most of the artworks found at this location are the creations of Portuguese artists, but a few exhibits highlight international names as well.
