Portimão: Location and surroundings of this property

The property is located in a quiet area of the city of Portimão. Close to where you'll find brand-name shops, cafés with terraces, renowned restaurants, theatres and all the other amenities. In the centre of what is the 2nd largest city in the Algarve and the largest in the Central/West Algarve, with around 45K inhabitants. Portimão stands out for its tourist attractions, pulse and dynamism and for the diversity of activities that make its day-to-day life intense and marked by a rhythm that continues throughout the year. It is a 1-minute walk from the banks of the River Arade, which cuts through this charming town. Along the banks you'll find numerous restaurants offering fresh fish and seafood dishes, the best representatives of the rich local gastronomy. In recent years, the mouth of the River Arade has been the stage for major events, such as the Portuguese race in the F1 international motorboat championship. Portimão is currently the third port in Portugal (only behind Lisbon and Funchal) to receive the most cruise ship passengers, thus reinforcing quality tourism. It is home to the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve and has industrial centres related to fishing and services, as well as the Arena, the largest multi-purpose pavilion south of the Tagus. A pleasant 15-minute walk after your meal will take you to the stunning and world-famous Praia da Rocha. With its vibrant nightlife, it is one of the Algarve's most popular seaside resorts. It offers a vast expanse of pristine golden sand (1.5 kilometres), crystal-clear waters that reflect myriad shades of blue, surrounded by an idyllic landscape, with the whimsical rocks that give it its name.
