It’s official: A tour/walk in Portimão is a great way to spend a day in the Algarve!


During our Walk/Tour of Portimão on Saturday 26th June 2010 we learnt about the importance of public gazebos in Portuguese towns and cities as icons of leisure time - as places to hear bands play music and socialise – see and be seen and/or discuss politics!
