Portimao Food Tour – the destination
Located in the most touristic region of Portugal, the city of Portimão is one of the favorite places for thousands of people to spend their vacations and relax. Do as I do: come visit Portimão and discover one of the most beautiful towns in the Algarve.
With an enviable location in the western Algarve, the place that is now Portimão began to be populated several centuries earlier, during the Roman occupation.
Portimão never distinguished itself on the national stage, but from the first decades of the XXᵉ century, this city began to attract some interest due to the importance of the canning industry in the local and national economy.
However, the disappearance of this industry led Portimão to turn to tourism, becoming one of the top destinations for those visiting the Algarve. More and more people want to visit the city, get to know the beaches of Portimão and its gastronomy.
