What was once little more than a quiet fishing village, the characterful town of Ferragudo at the western border of the municipality of Lagoa, is hailed as one of the Algarve\u2019s prettiest towns.<\/p>\n
Whitewashed fishermen\u2019s cottages and buildings line Ferragudo\u2019s narrow, cobbled streets, which lead towards the town\u2019s quaint square, where locals congregate.<\/p>\n
The square\u2019s benches always seem to be occupied by local residents, who sit, chat and watch the world go by at a not-so-fast pace!<\/p>\n
Restaurants and bars encircle this characterful square, providing the perfect spot to dine on delicious Portuguese food, enjoy a refreshing drink under the shade of a pergola, and take in the unique beauty of this quaint Algarve town.<\/p>\n
Whilst the town is now geared up for a steady stream of tourism, Ferragudo has by no means lost any of its traditional charms to tourism and its original purpose as a fishing village, is still very much at the heart of life here.<\/p>\n
Another favourite pastime when visiting Ferragudo is to head down to the pretty harbour and watch the fishermen as the moor their boats with the day\u2019s catch.<\/p>\n
This picturesque town is incredibly laidback as is the perfect destination for those seeking fresh seafood, authentic culture, a delightfully quaint ambience and friendly, welcoming locals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
