🇵🇹 Portimão Travel Tips + Where We Stayed

We stayed at the NH Marina Portimão Resort, right on the marina with beautiful views, spacious rooms, and a short walk to Praia da Rocha—one of the Algarve’s most popular beaches. 🗺️ What to Do in Portimão: • Walk the Ribeirinha riverside promenade • Visit the Portimão Museum for a quick dive into the region’s fishing history • Relax or surf at Praia da Rocha • Take a boat tour from the marina to visit the Benagil Caves & Marinha Beach • Enjoy a sunset walk up to Fortaleza de Santa Catarina for panoramic views 🍽️ Where to Eat: • Restinga Praia (on the beach) – fresh seafood with a view • À Ravessa – amazing local Portuguese cuisine in a relaxed setting • Casa da Tocha – tucked-away gem with tapas and wine 🚗 Day Trips from Portimão: • Lagos (30 mins): old town charm, cliffs at Ponta da Piedade, and great beaches • Ferragudo (10 mins): picturesque fishing village across the river • Silves (25 mins): explore the red-brick Moorish castle and medieval streets • Alvor (15 mins): boardwalks through marshlands and a lovely beach town vibe ✅ Portimão is a great base if you’re looking for beach days, boat trips, and easy access to nearby towns along the coast.

#2023travelwish #tripblazers #portugal This year's trip to Algarve Portugal was beautiful. Portugal's southern coastal region really surpised me how different it was to the capital. Having only one airport in the region we found it easy to travel from the Faro airport city to our final destination in Lagos- a 2hour train journey but it was well worth it! We went there for the relaxed vibe. We visited the famous Benegil cave and Carvoeiro town with lovely colourful hours. We did a crazy thing and walked 4 hours from one town to another taking the route along the cliff edges in flip flops! Highly recommend visiting there it was one of our highlights as well as Portimao's beautiful beach. Next year 2023 I hope to visit Kyoto, Japan again as it has been a while since I went to Asia as of Covid!
