Armação de Pêra Weather
Faro Airport Transfer to Armação de Pêra
Not very long ago this Armação de Pêra was nothing more than a collection of small shacks where the local residents from the nearby village of Pera used to maintain their fishing boats.
It is quite probable that the name "Armação" is a link with the distant past of the great Tuna fishing industry that existed along the Algarve from the 15th Century and before. This later fell under the protection of a small 18th Century fort that still remains in part to this day.
Nowadays, Armação de Pêra is mainly composed of blocks of holiday apartments of which present bars and restaurants on the ground floor. In the three summer months the town overflows with tourists but outside the top of the season it offers a wonderful peaceful holiday location.
Meanwhile, the nearby rural village of Pera remains as a reminder of the un-spoilt typical sleepy Algarve. Boasting one of the finest longest sandy beaches in the Algarve this is a popular location for tourists. On the beach close to the eastern side of the town are a number of fish restaurants that pride themselves on serving fresh fish.
The spread of building from Armação de Pêra has been mainly to the west with the creation of several holiday apartment complexes above the very charming beaches of Senhora da Rocha.
