[Edit description for Portimao]

A coastal town on Portugal's southern Algarve. Portimao is famed for its Praia de Rocha beach and hotel and holiday accommodation. Whilst the town is pleasant there are few remnants of older architecture. Its a great starting point for exploration along the coast to the old fishing village of Alvor to sample fresh grilled sardines, or further west to the old port of Lagos.
There are nearby archaeologic features like the Alcalar megalithic 'tombs' which are of similar origins to the famous Passage Tomb of Newgrange in Co. Meath, Ireland. Great for family holidays, good for sailing, no challenges for the more seasoned traveller, but then again Portugal is so much more than the Algarve.

Schooner Sailing in Portugal

Portimao, Portugal

Spent a delightful week with 4 other trusty shipmates aboard the Moneta, a lovely old wooden schooner (rigged with a squaresail - just for the fun of it). We were berthed in the marina near the Praia de Rocha just south of Portimao. We all took our Royal Yachting Association certification as Day Skippers (Tidal) and did our best not to hurt Ron's boat (or his feelings). We ate, cooked slept and (occasionally) sailed on-board and had a ball. We cruised the coast, overnighted at Lagos, an...

For two weeks we toured with the car through the south of Spain and Portugal. The weather was fantastic! We've seen a lot of things and we liked it very much. We took a cheap Easyjet flight from Basel to Malaga.
