Gama Port

Portimao grew out of a small fishing center and its economic activity was always linked to fishing and canning. Therefore, there are several ports, like this one called Vasco de Gama, next to Portimao Museum and the ruins of the Convent of San Francisco. It's a small port, in which only small boats dock (recreational and fishing). From here you can get a "pirate ship" that performs sightseeing tours to the caves of Cavoeiro and Lagos.
