Hello beautiful travellers and locals! I am Miguel, the creator of one of your incredible options for an immersive gamified experience in Faro, the capital of Algarve, in the south of Portugal. I am a biologist and traveller that never goes to a city unless I get the chance to explore its hidden small streets, old buildings and get among its inhabitants and local culture, away from the most touristic routes. Although I am a northerner in this beautiful small country, I am lucky to live and work in the prettiest part of Faro for several years now and I got to know it very well. So, I want to share the best of it with you and hope you can see this town like I do – with passion!
