Ferragudo is located at the delta of the Arade, which flows here in the Atlantic and nestles on the surrounding hills.
A poetical fishing village whose white houses reach down to the banks of the Arade river. Opposite, the city of Portimão.
Many small pubs and shops make Ferragudo a lively and cozy place.
The fishery is no longer important today, but they are still there, fishermen. You can still see how nets are patched and how the catch is landed.
Even if the fishery is only a sideline.
You have to get up early enough.
The church the “Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição” can be reached by walking through the narrow alleys. Here you can not only visit the church, which was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755, but you will also be rewarded with a magnificent view over the Arade.
The beach is located within the harbor wall, which is why the water is calmer here. The perfect beach for families with small children. There is a playground, showers, toilets and also a few beach restaurants.
