Portimão

Submitted by carmine.nezi on

The Rio Arade meets the Atlantic at Portimão, a fishing port and popular watersports destination on Portugal’s beautiful Algarve. The city’s charm is best experienced along the river, where the old fishermen’s quarter and pretty, fountain-splashed squares invite leisurely strolls. Alternatively, take a walk at Rocha beach, where medieval ruins stand guard over the sands, or stroll along the boardwalk at Praia do Alvo. Head west to discover the former provincial capital of Lagos, or make your way to Silves, where you’ll find a stunning fairy tale castle. In the evening, head back to Portimão and take a seat at one of the casual, open-air eateries that dot the river quays and delve into a delicious plate of the local specialty – grilled sardines straight from the ocean.
