AROUND

The largest city in the western Algarve, the port town of Portimao has morphed from a thriving fishing hub into a charming and typical town that serves as both a coastal resort destination and an authentic slice of Portuguese life.

Located along the right bank of the Arade river facing Ferragudo on the opposite side, it's a great jumping off point for the best of the Algarve's sun drenched beaches including the famous Praia da Rocha, Praia do Vau, Praia de Alvor, Carvoeiro, Vale Centeanes and Carvalho beach.

Don’t miss the Moorish town of Silves a short drive to the north. Forty five minutes east is Faro, the Algarve capital with both a well preserved medieval beauty and a contemporary feel. The marina and historic old town plazas are part of it's charm and it's directly adjacent to the beautiful Ria Formosa Preserve and Ilha Deserta.
