Portimão Travel Forum

Can anyone confirm to me that there are still regular trains running from Portimao to Tavira and if so, how frequent are they.

Hi, I couldn't find a ferragudo forum, so I thought I would try here! We're dithering about booking two weeks at Vitors Village complex in Ferragudo. We have a 2 year old son. I am trying to get my head around the location of it. Specifically, how far is to the nearest nice beach? The main beach (praia grande) looks really nice, but I can't tell if people swim there or not, with it appearing to be on the river.

Also, can anyone give me a true estimation of how long it would take to walk into the main village (square / harbour etc) from Vitors?

Many thanks in advance etc..

I will be staying at the Hotel Globo in late April. What I would like to know is if Praia da Rocha is walkable from the hotel. If it is how long would it take me. I have researched and know there are buses on the route but may walk back if it is late and the buses have finished.
Many thanks
Andrew

How much is it likely to cost to get a taxi from Portimao train station to Praia do Vau (hotel Vau)? How long would it take?
Thanks

Hi
Can anyone tell me about train travel from Portimao to Lisbon? I have had no luck on various sites and hope someone here can help me.
Thanks

We are going to Portimao over Christmas. What I'd like to know is:
How warm is it likely to be?
Is Christmas Day the only public holiday?
What will be open on Christmas Day? Will it be easy to find a restaurant?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Dear VT Members

My wife and I, both in our 50's are visiting the algarve for the first time next week, and would appreciate some tips from those of you who live there, or who have visited the area.

We will hire a Car at the Airport, and we are booked into the Arade Tivoli Hotel , which we understand has its own Beach and Marina

We both like to Eat good food, drink fine wines and we both like Live Music

Any information much appreciated

Regards

I am coming with my girlfriend to Praia Da Rocha in the end of August. I have decided to rent a car from Whizz car rental and I think its nearest office is in POrtimao airport. So my question is what is the easiest way to get from Praia Da Rocha to Portimao airport and how much it cost? Is it long distance? Thanks for answers!
