portimao

by quartinb - last update: Nov 5, 2005

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

Portimao was rediscovered as a holiday resort, gaining a reputation among English tourists attracted by the exotic beauty of Praia da Rocha.and it is the place in Algarve that offers you the most beautifull beaches if you come here mostly for that purpose

 A beautiful page on these fantastic beaches Vitor! I just wish that we could have had more time to enjoy them, but there were just too many other things to see in your fantastic country!

 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!
