Portimao : Holiday Accommodation
This buzzing port combines genuine Portuguese life with a fantastic choice of beaches and local attractions, so if you fancy doing different things every day, it's ideal.
On the estuary of the River Arade, its quaint harbourside brims with mouth-watering fish restaurants serving char-grilled sardines and other fresh fish, together with laid-back bars and cafes, whilst in the centre, you'll find fountain-crowned parks, ornate churches and great shopping at its bustling market, quality boutiques and craft shops. When you want to explore, catch a sea-cave cruise or fishing trip or journey into the beautiful nearby Monchique mountains, covered in forests and orange groves. For beach life, regular buses run to stunning, sandy Praia de Rocha and other scenic local coves and at night, head back to Rocha to enjoy its fun-filled bars and nightspots.
