Portimão is a thriving cosmopolitan city that has become one of the Algarve's top tourist destinations. In addition to excellent beaches, easy access to golf courses, and a wide range of services and entertainment, Portimão offers the beauty of the Ria de Alvor. It's a place where fun-loving tourists eager to discover the city's nightlife and leisure activities will be just as satisfied as nature lovers looking to spend their days watching migratory birds in the serene landscape of the protected Ria de Alvor.
Spectacular beaches have transformed Portimão into the welcoming and dynamic city it is today. Fine, golden beaches, framed by sculpted cliffs, form the natural landscape of this coast, providing endless sunny days and the opportunity to practice a wide range of water sports. Sailing, windsurfing, waterskiing, diving, and deep-sea fishing complement the boat tours that explore the caves and natural tunnels or that sail from the Arade River to the city of Silves.
East of Portimão lie calm waters, marshes, and sand dunes belonging to the Alvor Estuary protected area, a nature reserve for dozens of migratory bird species and an atmosphere of natural beauty best admired by boat. Besides the wildlife, the Ria also provides a wonderful opportunity to observe the techniques of local workers who calmly perform the tasks that provide their livelihood: salt harvesting and shellfish and fish farming in the estuary waters.
After a day in the sun, the city of Portimão offers plenty of entertainment and activities. The restaurants along the pier are perfect for sampling a local snack, such as sardines served on homemade bread, or a full meal consisting of local soups, followed by a whelk bean stew, seafood rice, or fried cuttlefish. Traditional sweets and desserts—morgados, egg balls, and figs filled with sugar—are based on local produce, such as figs and almonds. The coastal area is ideal for leisurely strolls, and the exclusive Clube Naval offers fabulous restaurants overlooking the harbor.
There are many shopping opportunities in Portimão, whether in the narrow streets of the historic center, filled with local crafts, or in the modern shopping center. A browse through the shops in the historic center is more picturesque and ideal for purchasing local wickerwork, lace and embroidery, ceramics, and copperware. The modern boutiques in the Praia da Rocha area are also very popular for "must-have" holiday items.
As with most cities and towns along the Algarve coast, the destructive effects of the 1755 earthquake left few signs of Portimão's past splendor. All that remains of the original 15th-century Church of Our Lady of the Conception is the portal, a Gothic gargoyle, and a buttress; the rest was rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries. The austere Jesuit College's blend of architectural styles is also due to successive reconstructions over the centuries, but it houses the largest church in the Algarve and is also worth a visit. Many sites of historical interest that bear witness to the presence of ancient Algarve populations can be found a little further afield. The Abicada archaeological site contains remains of Roman villas from the 1st and 4th centuries, there is an important Neolithic/Chalcolithic cemetery in Alcalar, and the Moorish architecture of the chapels of São João and São Pedro evokes the sacred sites where Muslims buried their religious ascetics—the marabouts.
Golf enthusiasts have several courses available, including Alto Golf & Country Club, the Morgado course, and the famous Penina Championship courses.
In Portimão, you'll never be short of things to do. If the sun and beaches aren't enough, plenty of fun awaits you just around the corner.
