Linked to the Faro district, the former flagship of the canning industry is now a must-see tourist destination. Portimão has many assets including the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve (car circuit), the fortress of Santa Catarina, the old fishing docks (beautiful promenade by the sea)... Portimão is a residential city, ideal for setting up a second home with a sea view or a view of the Arade River.
