Portimao
Portimao (actually written Portimão) is the second biggest city in the Algarve, Portugal, and famous for its fresh fish restaurants, grilled sardines being the most famous dish. One of the most well known beaches in the Algarve – Rocha (”Praia da Rocha”), meaning “Rocky Beach” – is very close to Portimao, and there are numerous others nearby.
The small airport located near Portimão, does despite a IATA: PRM designation, not see scheduled traffic. The nearest airport is in Faro 70 kilometres away, which in turns is well connected with many route, charter and discount airlines serving the airport from Northern Europe. Eva Bus offers connection via a shuttle to the bus terminal in Faro.
There isn`t much to do,except the beautiful Beach of Praia da Rocha and the Fort of Santa Catarina.
