Ferragudo

Nestled on the far side of the Arade River from Portimão, Ferragudo is a charming former fishing village that captures the essence of the old Algarve. Winding cobbled streets lead uphill from the palm-lined waterfront to the town’s church, which sits at an elevated position offering panoramic views over Praia da Angrinha and the 16th-century Castle of Arade (Castelo de São João do Arade). Visitors can explore the quaint lanes, admire the historic architecture, and enjoy the serene coastal atmosphere.
