Armaçao De Pera Algarve Portugal

Not too long ago Armaçao de Pera was just a fishing village with quaint houses and narrow streets. Armaçao de Pera is now developing as a full blown holiday resort but has still managed to retain some of its traditional character.

The sandy beach at Armaçao de Pera is one of the largest on the Algarve and is set among huge cliff and rock formations. A stroll along the promenade will bring you to what remains of the original fishing village.

In the older part of the town, there are a number of bars and a good selection of restaurants, many offering freshly caught fish. There are good local shops but a trip to Albufeira (11kms) or Portimao (20kms) will provide added variety.

Locality:
Armaçao de Pera is situated midway along the S coast of Portugal on low-lying cliffs, 11 mls W of Albufeira, 13 mls E of Portimao, 29 mls W of Faro and the airport.

Armaçao de Pera is popular among most ages ranges and interests, families, couples and singles. Special interest groups are less catered for such as golfers and sport enthusiasts, although golf courses are available further ‘a field’. There is a long wide sandy beach here (Armaçao de Pera Beach) backed by cliffs and pebbly at water level.

In terms of attractions and entertainment, there is the old part of town which has one or two historic buildings, the beach and a water park (3 miles west). By night there are plenty of discos and bars. Hotels Viking and Garbe generally have some form of entertainment open to the public.
