An Armacao De Pera holiday will take you to a resort that, once just a town where those from further inland came to fish, is now a bustling and lively getaway destination suitable for virtually anybody.

As is almost standard with resorts in the Algarve, there is a fantastic beach, awash with an array of textures: the soft grainy sand, the clean shiny water, the jagged dusty rocks, all served up in one vast space than spans the resort.

Also being served up on a daily basis is the great range of cuisine that can be found throughout the town. Being an old fishing village, Armacao De Pera is great for seafood fans looking to sample the local wares, although it is doubtful that anyone else would go starving.
