Ferragudo

First impressions of the little picture postcard fishing village of Ferragudo are, how has the Algarve kept this village, as we all imagine a Portuguese fishing village should be. This picturesque village remains unspoilt and has retained its character and traditional values. Its beautiful bay filled with fishing boats, which still make a catch each day, for the population of the village and beyond. Stroll through winding cobbled streets with white washed houses leading to the square and waterfront which hosts a wealth of restaurants, bars and cafés. Ferragudo is about a 45 minute drive from Faro Airport and is just three kms from the EN125.

The Village sits on the opposite bank of the River Arade to Portimão and the lively resort of Praia da Rocha, with its new Marina full of colourful yachts, both of which can be reached by the new Water Taxi Service.

Close by are the two top class golf courses of Pinta and Gramacho, whilst the championship course of Penina (home of the Portuguese Open) is only ten minutes drive away. There are two sandy beaches within walking distance and a further three superb beaches in close proximity to the village.
