The Algarve / Central Algarve region

The Algarve is one of the sunniest places in Europe, with over 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. The summers tend to be hot, but there is usually a refreshing breeze by the coast. Spring and Autumn are cooler but still nice and warm, making them ideal times for outdoor activities such as golf, biking, walking. The winters tend to mild but are often sunny, although there will be the odd rainy day any time between October and March.

The Atlantic coastline offers a spectacular variety of scenery from dramatic cliff formations surrounding tiny coves, to long, flat, sandy beaches and marsh areas just teeming with wildlife.

Go inland, and the mountains of Monchique provide a totally different viewpoint (and at times a totally different climate) to the coastal areas. The hilly terrain of the mountains makes it ideal for all types of activities, from off–road biking, hiking and quad biking to walking and simply enjoying the spectacular scenery.

The western facing side of the Algarve is certainly worth a visit. The beaches are beautiful and clean and the scenery fantastic – but be prepared for more wind and colder water! That said, it’s an ideal place for the surfers amongst you.

The Armacao de Pera area

Armacao De Pera was until recently little more than a small fishing village. It is now a bustling and energetic town full of shops, bars, and restaurants all built around one of the best beaches on the Algarve. The long, flat sandy beech stretches in a gentle curve for around 4 miles towards Galé. The town has recently had a major make-over and the main street is now fully pedestrianised.

With the fishermans beach still in use today, you can watch the fishermen landing their latest catch. There is a fish market every morning except Sunday where you can buy your own portion of the catch. The market also has areas for fruit & vegetables, meat and there are a variety of bakers nearby. Just wandering around this area, mingling with the locals, you really do get the feel of an old style fishing village – something of a rarity on the Algarve these days.

Whilst on the beech, during the main summer season, you can enjoy a variety of sports including volleyball, jet skis, inflatable bananas or rings and para-gliding.

Armacao De Pera is surrounded by other amenities all within easy travelling distance. Zoomarine is just 5 minutes by car - a large marine park with sharks, dolphins and other sea creatures. Another attraction for all the family is Aqualand, one of the biggest water parks in Europe. Here you will find the famous Banzai ride, a near vertical drop of over 20 metres where you get to ride on a toboggan. If you’re brave enough to take the plunge then it’s certainly something you’ll be bragging about to your friends! There are also 2 other waterparks within 30 minutes of the apartment.

Golf features very highly on the Algarve, with just about more top courses in one area than anywhere else in Europe. The course at Salgados Golf Club, on the edge of a salt marsh nature reserve, is less than 10 minutes away. Just inland near Alcantarilha, only a 5 minute drive, are the 2 new courses at “Faldo Amendoeira” (The Oceanico complex designed by Nick Faldo and Christy O'Connor Jnr.). Villamora and Vale de Lobo are within a 30 minute car journey.

One of the most beautiful attractions around Armacao De Pera is the rugged coastline just west of the town. You can explore this on foot along the many cliff walks or take one of the many boat trips to see the caves and grottos. Just a 5 minute drive going west from town is the tiny chapel of Nossa Senhora da Rocha (Our Lady of the Rocks) which stands 30m high on a cliff edge above Porches beach. A truly fabulous place to see a wonderful sunset!

Also within easy reach of the apartment are the shopping centres at Algarve Shopping and Retail Park, Portimão. Algrave Shopping is less than 5 minutes past Zoomarine. The complex includes a large supermarket, around 200 various shops including designer outlets, a multi choice food hall / restaurant area and an 8 screen cinema. Most films shown are in English with Portuguese subtitles. Portimao Retail Park is a collection of large stores.

The latest attraction in the area is the new Algarve Raceway just past Portimao, so around 25 – 30 minutes from the apartment.. With Formula 1 testing, World Superbikes and various other motor racing events it’s already proving to be very popular and is clearly set to host many an eyecatching event.

So, Armacao De Pera has everthing you need for a lovely holiday, fantastic beaches, shops, supermarkets, restaurants and bars. Being in the centre of the Algrave, it is ideally located for all other amenities and facilities along this entire stretch of the coast.
