The Portimão municipality
The whole Portimão municipality, in one place.
The Algarve’s second city earned its living from sardines before it turned to sand: Praia da Rocha’s grand beach, Alvor’s estuary boardwalks and a world-class race track in the hills. This is everything happening across the concelho: the towns, the beaches, the events and the businesses, brought together and kept current by the community.
