… the little village of Armacao de Pera.
Portugal shares the Iberian peninsular with Spain. It has fine beaches, beautiful castles, charming fishing villages, well-maintained hotels, excellent restaurants and colourful folk tradition. Towards the north, the character is more Celtic, while in the south, Moorish ancestry is apparent. The main tourist attractions are in the capital of Lisbon and Estoril on the west coast and the Algarve to the south.
The Algarve is located to the south of Portugal on the south-west tip of Europe and it is one of Europe's sunniest spot, a unique jewel where the finest beaches and weather on the continent meet traditional historic Portugal.
Armacao de P?ra was originally a small fishing village where tuna used to be caught and brought up onto "Fisherman?s Beach". The net that the fishermen used to catch the Tuna in was called "Arma?ão" and as it is very close to "P?ra", the village was named Arma?ao de P?ra. The resort boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve with pretty coves around the coastline and there are an excellent choice of Fish Restaurants, especially in the "Fisherman?s Beach" area of the town. It is a great place for a relaxing holiday and has that certain something about it that you will really love. The beach of Arma?ão de P?ra is perfect for children as it is very calm and the slope is gradual, and in the daytime the Fishermen will take holidaymakers for a trip along the coastline where you can see the fascinating rock formations, caves and grottos. Also in the area there is the tiny Romanesque Chapel of "Senhora da Rocha" (Our Lady of the Rocks) which is where fishermen used to pray before setting off for a nights fishing. This is apparently the area where there was a vision of the Virgin Mary.
