UnlockArmação de Pêra

Charming Historic town

One of the oldest fishing communities in the Algarve, Armação de Pêra takes its name from the tuna traps laid by local fishermen for over 400 years. Watching the gentle waves of the Atlantic lap brightly-painted boats and golden sands, we discover a place rooted in history and tradition. Armação de Pêra’s fish market is among the most famous in the Algarve, with freshly caught fish and shellfish inspiring the local gastronomy with a true taste of the ocean.
