Portimao
What you need to know before you go
Portimao has some of the best beaches on the Algarve’s west coast, but you'll also find a rich vein of history beneath the sun, sea and sangria. Dominating the seafront is the impressive Santa Catarina fort, which dates back to medieval times. Closeby, the Roman ruins at Quinta da Abicada are prized for their mosaics.
Portimao is a magnet for sports fans – international competitions, including sailing, powerboating, and superbike races, liven up the town throughout the year. A must-see is the popular beach soccer tournament, known as the Little World Cup.
