Portimão: Location and surroundings of this property

This property is located in the city of Portimão. Only a few minutes walk from the beating heart of the Town centre itself and all it has to offer, Quaint cafes and bars, restaurants with an unbelievable choice of mouthwatering food, shops that can supply your every need, Theatres and sports facilities that cater for all tastes. Portimão is the largest city in the western Algarve, located at 50 minutes from Faro Airport, and was traditionally a centre for shipbuilding, sardine fishing and fish processing. Today, most of that industry has been replaced by tourism, leisure, and retail, leaving Portimão as a large and residential city. Most tourists visit Portimão either for the extensive shopping or when using public transport, but there is a surprising amount to be seen within the city. The city’s old and once bustling fishing docks have been responsibly transformed into a scenic promenade, leading to the quaint and tree-lined plazas of the old town. Further inland are pleasant pedestrian shopping streets, a series of historic buildings, and a varied selection of cafes, bars, and restaurants specialising in freshly cooked seafood. Just a few minutes from the city centre is the iconic Praia da Rocha with its vast sandy beach, crystal clear water and majestic cliffs that stretch to the beaches of Amado and Vau. Ferragudo and Carvoeiro, the thermal baths of Monchique, Lagos (the city of the discoveries) and even Sagres are between 20 to 30 minutes away. Lisbon and Seville are at about 2,5 hours.
