On the Arade estuary facing Portimão lies Ferragudo one of the few fishing villages in the Algarve that has retained its character and fishing industry. It’s narrow streets with tiny houses sprawl
around a fort which was built in the 16th century to defend Portimão against attack. It is a popular place with tourists especially the fish restaurants serving “catch of the day” fresh from the boats. The beach is about 1 kilometre to the south of the town, which also has it’s share of bars and restaurants.
