Portimão

The city of Portimão belongs to the district of Faro (Algarve) and is an important center of fishing and tourism. From pre history with the megalithic monuments of Alcalar, through Romanization, with the archaeological station of Abicada, near Figueira, to the elevation of the city by our native Manuel Teixeira Gomes, ending with the canning industry, Portimão has 5000 years of history . Here you can do all kinds of water sports, such as sailing, wind and kitesurfing, among others. If you are a diving enthusiast, the navy ships sunk off our coast to create an artificial reef are the ultimate attraction. Of course, we couldn't forget about the Portimonense Stadium to watch football matches and also the Algarve International Circuit, well known for its bike and car racing events. If you want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the city of Portimão, we recommend a walk through the Zona Ribeirinha, a trip to the Igreja do Colégio and a meal by the sea with typical Portuguese dishes. If you want to feel the magic of summer in Portimão, we suggest a boat trip along the Algarve coast, to the Benagil caves, where you can spot dolphins along the trip.
