Apartment "Casa Jacques" is located on the first floor of a building consisting of four apartments. It is situated in a newly developed area called "Quinta dos Poços" and is about seven minutes walk from the center of Ferragudo. It is a quiet area and in front of the apartment is a children's playground, which you can see from the balcony.You can walk to "Praia Grande" in 15 minutes, the beach located within the piers and with very nice restaurants. Ferragudo is located at the mouth of the Arade River across the city of Portimão. It is a beautiful authentic fishing village with white houses. On the village square you will find numerous catering establishments with very pleasant terraces. If you walk from here to the church, you have a magnificent view over the river and how it flows into the sea. Down in the village you will find the moorings of the fishermen. Here are also a number of excellent restaurants where you can order fresh fish. From here a water taxi goes to Portimão and Praia da Rocha. If you take a walk along the beach along the river on Praia da Angrinha you will pass the Fort of São João de Arade which in the 15th century was first a watchtower then expanded into a fortress to protect Portimão. A walk through the village with its narrow houses, often decorated with colorful flowering plants and shrubs, is also very worthwhile.
