No, you can’t see Africa from Faro, Portugal, even though it’s relatively close. Faro is located on the southern coast of Portugal, in the Algarve region, and across the Mediterranean Sea from Africa. The closest point of Africa, the northern tip of Morocco, is about 13 kilometers (8 miles) away, but you wouldn’t be able to see it directly from Faro due to the curvature of the Earth and geographical factors like terrain and atmospheric conditions.
However, on a clear day, it might be possible to see parts of the coast of Morocco from locations farther south, like from the coast of Tarifa in Spain, which is much closer to Africa.
