| Portimão is the largest town in the western Algarve. It has been an important port since ancient times because of its location at the mouth of the river Arade. Today it is a busy provincial town and a commercial fishing port. During the summer month the quay on the town side of the river is lined with boats offering game-fishing trips and coastal and river cruises |

Your Portimao tips and pics brought back good memories of a day we once spent there - the 'sardines on the seafront' experience, is a good enough reason to return one day! |
