Portugal is one of the top holiday destinations in Europe. With hot weather, sunny beaches and an unbelievable amount of history, Portugal is for sure a bucket list country to visit. While some may prefer the bustling, busy cities of Lisbon or Porto, others may prefer some of the quieter, historic towns. One of these many towns is Portimao.
Introduction to Portimao
Portimao can be found in the south of Portugal in the very popular region of the Algarve. The Algarve is Portugal’s southernmost area and is famous for its beaches as well as stunning golf courses. As the name suggests, Portimao is one of the port towns that can be found in the Algarve region. The town itself is best known for its bust marinas, the old quarter of the town and, of course, the many fantastic beaches that are close by. A stand out location in the port town is the museum or Museu de Portimao. The museum is housed in a 19th century cannery which has been refurbished in order to house loads of local history from the town.
