Faro to Marrakech

There are no scheduled air services between Faro and Morocco.

To drive, would mean travelling via Seville, Spain to Algeciras a distance of about 500km. Ferry to Tanger and then a +- 600km drive to Marrakech.

The total distance by driving would be well in excess of 1000km each way.

The only possibility that might meet your needs would be to drive to Seville Airport. Ryanair.com have scheduled flights from there to Marrakech

Club Arcos - Praia da Rocha

I don't know the aparments in question, but Faro Airport to Praia da Rocha is between 50 minutes and one hour by car.

If not hiring a car, your best bet will be a direct airport transfer.

If diskwizz is floating around the forums, he can probably help with more local info.

Club Arcos actually seems to be located near Praia da Vau which is about 1km from Praia da Rocha proper.

Trains from Ayamonte/Vila Real Sto. Antonio to Lagos

The last through train from Vila Real Sta. Antonio to Lagos departs at 18:41 and arrive Lagos at 21:49. There is a 20 minute layover in Faro and you may have to change rains there.

Note that if you are coming on the ferry from Ayamonte that the station is about 800m from the ferry pier so allow plenty of time.

On Friday's only there is a later connection.

Note that if you miss this train detailed above it will probably be impossible for you to get to Lagos that night,

Also be aware that there is a daily EVA Transports/DAMAS bus that leaves Ayamonte as follows:

Dept: Ayamonte Bus Station 18:15 (Spanish Time)
Arr. Lagos 20:45 (Portuguese Time)

See: http://bit.ly/Aymonte_Lagos for timetable.
