The historic roots of

go back to the Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians,
when this place was a small trading port.
Located at the mouth of the River Arade it provides a natural harbour.
During the Moorish occupation this river provided an important sea access to the
ancient city of Silves, the former capital of the Algarve.

With the development of the fishing and canning industry in the late 19th Century
Portimão became an important economic centre until the recession in the early 1980s.

Rocha and Praia da Vau and an active nightlife.
Just across the river the delightful small fishing village of Ferragudo offers a
peaceful contrast, and the well known village of Carvoeiro
with its elegant villas and hotels is only some kilometers to the west.
