I find it fascinating to compare average after tax salary with the cost of renting a one bedroom apartment in different places. In many places it does not seem possible for a single person on an average salary to rent a one bedroom flat and this includes in Faro. Rents are out of all proportion to people’s means. It is such a shame.

A 33 cl bottle of Sagres beer at Faro bus station cafe costs €1.50.

Breakfast today at Demo Urban Bakery. €8 for a large toasted tuna and cheese sandwich and coffee.

Found a nice little beach cafe today at Faro Beach. A 0.5l beer was €2.50. I had lunch at a beach cafe where the car park is and paid €13.40 for a chicken salad and two large beers.
