Shopping Excursion to Portimao |
|
|
Enjoy a trip to the pretty beach town of Portimao and shop for some local artworks
| Overview | |
|
For a leisurely day by the sea, with plenty of seafood restaurants and vibrant local markets, a trip to the beach town of Portimao is a great idea! Wander down the old town and you will come across houses of two-storey with wrought iron balconies and ornate stone work around doors and windows, and walls covered with tiles. Take a stroll around the fishing port, bustling with activity or sample some sardine specialities at a traditional restaurant. You could pick up armloads of souvenirs for your loved ones back home from the local market, offering everything from fishing rods, clothes to a range of handmade artefacts. The charm of cultivated fields, slopes covered with pine forests and wild flowers, and the stunning beach of Praia da Rocha, will make your trip to Portimao truly memorable.
