FERRAGUDO… How is it?



It is said that FERRAGUDO is not a place to visit, but TO BE LIVED.


Illuminated by the colors of the end of the day, the sleepy village rises from the river Arade, providing, at first sight, the feel of a place to rest. The location and natural conditions that can be found here, make it an excellent starting point for discover this region  of high beauty.

Imagine a quiet fishing village, which stands silently in front of Portimão ...



Almost at night


Ferragudo since the sixteenth century grew very little, so it keeps the simplicity of the whitewashed walls and preserves the small winding roads of  Moorish inspiration, which adorn the little houses and its beautiful terraces filled with bougainvilleas and flowers of different colors.

Among their houses, the staircases all around as like the arms of an octopus we speak.

Through them, we walk around all the village  in seconds from base to top and vice versa.

As someone said, times ago, Ferragudo is not just a brushstroke on a canvas that serves as a balance to the whole, but rather a reference point in terms construction of the plan political, social and historical of  our Algarve.
