Ferragudo
A charming fishing village on the opposite bank of Portimão, Ferragudo maintains its own identity and a relaxed atmosphere that contrasts with the busier neighbor. The cobbled streets, colorful houses, and the central square overlooking the Arade River create a typically Algarve setting. The Castle of São João do Arade dominates the landscape by the estuary.
Lagoa
Fort of São João do Arade
Historic military fort at the mouth of the Arade River in Ferragudo, probably built on a 15th-century watchtower during the reign of King John II. It faces the Forte de Santa Catarina in Portimao on the opposite bank, forming a defensive system that guarded the river entrance. Classified by IPPAR since 1975. Although not completely unknown, it remains surprisingly discreet compared to other coastal icons of the Algarve. The silhouette of the fort at sunset, viewed from Ferragudo beach, is one of the most beautiful images of the Algarve coast.
Lagoa
Praia da Albandeira
Smaller and more rugged than the more well-known neighboring beaches, Albandeira remains much less saturated and offers an intimate and sheltered environment. The rock formations create natural pools and wind-sheltered nooks. The crystal-clear water and the backdrop of golden cliffs make it one of the best beaches for those seeking tranquility on the Algarve coast.
Lagoa
Praia da Angrinha
A calmer and more secluded beach near Ferragudo, at the mouth of the Arade River. The proximity to the estuary gives it calmer and warmer waters than the ocean beaches, making it ideal for families. The view of the Portimão marina and the Castle of São João do Arade completes a charming and tranquil scene.
