Ferragudo

Nestled on the banks of the Arade river, you will find the fishing village of Ferragudo; a beautiful hidden gem that has retained its traditional charm amongst its neighbouring resorts along the incredible Algarvian coastline. From the waterside a warren of picturesque cobbled streets lined with whitewashed cottages rise up into the old village with many restaurants, bars and shops to explore as well as a beautiful old church whose terrace boasts great views across the river to Ferragudo’s own medieval castle which commands an elevated position on the headland of one of its many stunning beaches. The main square is the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks and at the weekends some local live music.

Eating Out

If you love food and eating out then the Western Algarve has plenty to offer in local cuisine all accompanied by a great selection of Portuguese wines. Some of our favourites within walking distance are:

• Obarril restaurant in the village, friendly traditional Portuguese
