Ferragudo

A picturesque, unspoilt fishing village across the river from Portimão, with white houses, flowery lanes and a fort at the river mouth.

Insider tip

Eat at a fish restaurant on the village square; far more authentic and cheaper than the tourist hubs.

Whitewashed lanes, viewpoints and the town beach reached through a tunnel. Charming by day, lively by night.

The former Moorish capital of the Algarve, crowned by a red-sandstone castle above the river. Winding old town and cathedral.

A lively port town with old walls, pretty squares and the best cliff beaches within walking distance. A fine mix of culture and coast.
