3 days in Portimao Itinerary

Originally a small fishing village, Portimão today serves as one of the most populated towns in the Algarve and also a favorite spot for sailing.

Step off the beaten path and head to Portiate Charters and Pro Putting Garden. Change things up with these side-trips from Portimao: Lagos (Ponta da Piedade & Praia do Camilo) and Cape Saint Vincent (in Sagres). There's more to do: get in on the family fun at Zoomarine Algarve and take a leisurely stroll along Alvor Boardwalk.
