'This small unspoilt Portuguese fishing village is situated on the east bank of the Portimao river, where village life revolves around the quayside square'

This small unspoilt Portuguese fishing village is situated on the east bank of the Portimao river, where village life revolves around the quayside square.  In the summer months it is decorated with garlands, fairylights and a stage where live acts and bands perform on weekend evenings.  The atmosphere is delightful with locals of all ages jiggling around until the small hours.  Excellent beaches dot the coastline, both on the river and the coast. There is a lighthouse and a miniature castle that was built to protect the the river mouth.

The local market is also on the quayside, where you can buy fresh fish just caught from the boats tied up a few metres away.

The harbour beach offers shallow calm waters for children, a long beach and plenty of windsurfing.
