The well-known Praia da Rocha is part of Portimao and
especially developed to attract tourism, mainly because of
the great sandy beach and the impressive high rocks along
the coast and boulevard. In Praia da Rocha you will find
whatever a holidayer may wish to find; very many small
shops, tobacconists, terraces, restaurants, bars, café’s,
hotels, a casino, disco’s, you name it.
But also here, you will find the charming traces of the
Morish occupation, many hundreds of years ago. Shown in the
way some houses were built, the typical chimneys on the roof
s. A holiday is not complete when you have not enjoyed a
dinner with a Fado performance. Fado, the typical and
romantic Portuguese music.
