Note: unusually there is not a airport shuttle bus into Faro centro but there is a regular bus service.
The page you will find most useful is:
Travel options between the Algarve and Spain by bus or train

Hi ,
Haven't been to Isla Canela for some years and considering a visit in November. Am I correct that the daytime weather should still be pleasant ? Is the resort still relatively quiet , but with enough bars /restaurants to get by ? Thanks .

It could be quiet on the bar front though. Sugar reef would be open and Sonrisa. A lot depends if the hotels stay open

Re: Useful information thread
The town is open 52 weeks a year mind, numerous choice of restaurants there, also other beach bars like Playa Alta, Bombadil, Cabras.
Hotels will be shut probably, like the last few years.
