The largest city in the west of Algarve, Portimão is the calmer, more traditional neighbour of Praia da Rocha.
Sitting on the bank of the Arade River, Portimão was once one of the key fishing towns in Portugal. The influence of this industry can still be felt in everyday life here, whether you’re walking the length of Portimão’s wonderful promenade, or sampling the best of Portuguese cuisine in a local café or restaurant. Portimão also serves as a peaceful retreat for families or others who prefer to stay away from the more touristy areas in the Algarve.
