Portimao Vacation Guide
A coastal town on Portugal's southern Algarve. Portimao is famed for its Praia de Rocha beach and hotel and holiday accommodation.

Just a little day trip to Porto Mao, we had coffee and a little walk around the marina. Didnt really find much to do or see so we caught a bus to Lagos to see the caves instead.
