On day 14 you have reached the last destination of your European road trip. Catch one last glimpse of Faro before it’s time to leave.

Depending on how much time you have before your departure, you may want to engage in some last-minute shopping or souvenir hunting. Get some unique items to remind you of your great European road trip across Portugal and Spain. If shopping isn’t your thing, visit some of the lesser-known attractions you have yet to discover.

On your last day in Portugal, take time to indulge in shopping at Faro’s popular marketplace. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Igreja De São Pedro, a photogenic church before you head out.

Get a last taste of Portugal’s tasty traditional food. Choose from a curated list of the best local food and drink spots in Faro and enjoy what may be your last vacation meal of this trip. Look forward to recreating these distinct culinary experiences in your own kitchen later to remind you of your unforgettable road trip across Portugal and Spain.

Savor the flavors at Churrasqueira da Penha Dentinho, a top pick for dinner tonight. Alternatively, My'oMeu Restaurante beckons with its unique menu offerings.

The time has come to say farewell to Faro for now. You will realize that you’re traveling home with more than you came with as you look back at your 14-day European road trip in Portugal and Spain with fond memories. Safe travels!
