With a waterfront setting, traditional charm and fresh seafood, Ferragudo holidays promise relaxation and plenty of beach time.
A hidden delight
The fishing village of Ferragudo's one of the Algarve's most authentic spots. Nestled by the mouth of the River Arade on Portugal's southern coast, life here still revolves around the sea. It's hard to resist falling for the old-world cottages, intimate restaurants and pretty waterfront promenade. There's a pair of beaches, too.
Scenic Silves
It's not far to go to get a fill of history with Silves just a 25-minute drive away. Wander the towering Moorish Castle of Silves, explore the gardens and take in the views of the surrounding landscape. To admire more of the scenery, go for a leisurely stroll along the River Arade.
