Accommodation and Facilities for the apartment in the Algarve, Portugal

Theme Parks and interesting places

Armacao de Pera is very near to two water parks. Ask at the torist office where you collect your free Aqualand bus whilst buying your ticket. Zoomarine - an oceanographic theme park , including delphinium is just 15 mins to the East, this also has a bus to collect you. A tiny chapel, Nossa Senhora (Our lady of the rocks) perches on a promontory just west of Armacao. Unusually shaped and very old, it was built by local fishermen to commemorate a sighting of the virgin Mary on this spot. Another unusual chapel is at the side of the parish church in Alcantarilha, inland from Armacao. Open to visitors, it's contents are somewhat macabre: the walls and ceilings consist of the tightly packed limb bones ad skulls of 1,500 former parishers. Wander through the warren of streets in the old town of Armacao with names like Street of the fishing nets,street of the sails,street of the candles and lamps. Visit one of the many fish restaurants. We can promise you there is much to explore .

Nightlife

Situated by the mouth of the river Alcantarilha , Armacao de Pera has a surprisingly historic heart. It is believed Romans had a military base here to protact those living along the river. Old salt tanks used by the Romans to preserve their fish have been found on the beach., In l661 a fort was built at Armacao to protect the villagers from Pirates and invaders. Named after the local patron saint, Antonio da Pedra, local fisermen felt safe to settle below it's walls. A chapel was built within the fort, the original entrance remains. The old coat of arms is visable over the doorway and, on the other side towards the sea, the original flagstones are still in place. Parts of the fort have been rebuilt. The building on the left of the doorway housed troops before becoming a customs house and latterly, a police station. In the mid 19th century fishermen began to build houses and develope commercial activities, including boat building.

Golf Information:

We have five top class golf courses within a 15 minute drive of the apartment. Salgados and Gramacho are the closest golf courses both just a few minutes away by car. Carvoeiro (2 courses) and Penina (3) are 10-15 mins drive west and the 11 international courses of Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago and Vale de Lobo are about 20 mins away. Armacao de Pera is right in the center of the Algarve so all the golf courses East and West are easily reached. Many people enjoy the 9 hole course Vale de Milo at Carvoeiro and often classical music can be heard across the course from the club house.
