Excellent Location Ferragudo 3 bedroom Apartment, well-presented and equipped 2nd floor apartment extremely well-located in the heart of the village. The property is within a few minutes’ walk of the town centre with its restaurants, shops, art galleries, pharmacy, etc, minutes from the beach at Praia Grande and river/ferry to Portimão. Stairs are the only access as the building does not have an elevator.
Ferragudo belongs also to the municipality of Lagoa, located east of Portimão, on the other side of the Arade river. It really is a very picturesque scene when you arrive in Ferragudo to see the whitewashed houses ‘tumbling’ down the hillside towards the river front and people sitting outside the cafes around the village square, passing the time. The picturesque cobbled streets of white houses with their Moorish styled chimneys are close to the main square. With about 2,000 inhabitants, it is 280km from Lisbon, 69km from Faro airport and 254km from Seville.
It has been a fishing village since immemorial time, but tourism is now the largest revenue. Angrinha and Praia Grande are the two most sought after beaches with equipment for windsurfing and kayaking.
