Portimão is one of the oldest towns on the coast of Algarve. In the late 19th century the town was known as a major fishing center. Here were built several canning factories, which provided the majority of revenue to the town’s treasury. Today Portimão is a famous and popular holiday resort with calm sea and clear water.
The town offers several historical attractions and a variety of leisure activities. The district Alvor is worth a visit for its church, built in the 16th century. One of the most prestigious areas is called Carvoeiro.
