There is no need to book Lisboa - Algarve trains ahead, unless you want to get a discounted ticket. The latter costs about 10 EUR/pax for the Lisboa - Faro leg and can be booked through https://www.cp.pt/passageiros/en

Please do NOT book with rail ninja. It isn't an official representative of Comboios de Portugal, the official Portuguese rail network. Always use www.cp.pt.
And if you book ahead at cp.pt the fare will be significantly discounted. You can book up to 60 days in advance and savings are substantial. We also book ahead to secure a considerable discount with cp.pt. They also have significantly discounted senior fares.

The Lisbon-Algarve AP (Alfa Pendular) fast trains are inexpensive, especially if one books in advance (5, 8 or more days in advance) with a 65% discount and also inexpensive if one qualifies to purchase a senior discount ticket with a 50% discount. Tickets can be purchase 60 days prior to departure.
See the discounts here-

Rail Ninja are not an official agent of CP - Portuguese Railways. They simply use the public CP website on your behalf, and pocket the difference between what you paid them and what it actually costs on www.cp.pt. But you should get genuine tickets. Have you got them yet? What date?
