Ferragudo: a postcard perfect Algarve escape

If you’re looking for a slower pace and authentic charm, Ferragudo is the place to be. This picturesque fishing village, set along the Arade River, feels like a step back in time with its whitewashed houses, narrow streets & colourful boats bobbing in the harbour.

Start your visit with a stroll through the old town, stopping for a coffee in the lively square. Climb up to the church for breathtaking views over the river to Portimão, then head down to Praia da Angrinha or Praia Grande for a relaxing afternoon by the sea.

As the sun sets, enjoy freshly grilled fish at one of the waterfront restaurants, where the catch of the day never disappoints. Ferragudo may be small, but its beauty & charm leave a lasting impression.
