Rio Arade Tour
2H00 Easy 42 PT / EN / FR / ES
Discover how to conquerer a medieval city by river
We will start this magnificent journey at the pier of Clube Naval de Portimão. The Arade River is the second-largest river in the Algarve Region, born in Serra do Caldeirão, passing through several cities, the most important of which are Silves (Medieval City, which was once the Capital of the Algarve Region), Lagoa and Portimão, where it flows into the Atlantic Ocean, immediately east of the famous Praia da Rocha.
Sail in the calm waters of the River Arade, “sea roads” perfect for a medieval trip, which takes us to the historic city of Silves.
Beginning the tour at the pier near the ruins of the old Convent of São Francisco, we will go down the river to the fishing village of Ferragudo, and to the Castle of São João do Arade, passing by the famous Marina of Portimão.
Then we will start the ascent of the river, passing by the Museum of Portimão, where in the past it was the Canning Fish Factory, we will sail along the Riverside Zone of the city of Portimão, passing by the best and most famous Sardine Restaurants.
The water traced the curves sculpted in the land, from the Serra do Caldeirão to the doors of the Atlantic and, today, when navigating these medieval waters we feel the history of this place.
Do not miss this magnificent trip, through valleys that the water formed until the fabulous medieval city of Silves.
