SWFC_Fan Says: Ferragudo's 17th Century fort stands at the entrance to the village's harbour, overlooking Praia Grande beach and the Arade River.Standing as it does at the end of the beach, it has been commented that it looks like an over-sized sandcastle - I would have to agree with...

Balam Says: This nice little restaurant is on a small back street just behind Ferragudo’s small Main Square. There is some seating outside in the narrow street and ample seating inside, the interior is very Portuguese and has a nice open Kitchen with various Pans and vegetables hanging...

O Barrill: All this and Fado too
mrs_mole Says: Easy to miss O Barrill - it's up a tiny alleyway behind the bigger Portorade restaurant, but it's a real find. We sat outside in the alleyway eating well cooked Portugese food listening to a live Fado singer (I think he is there Mondays and Wednesdays). The service is very...
For me, the best bar in Ferragudo is 'Tres Mocacos' meaning Three Monkeys. This awesome little bar serves up some great little cocktails and is surrounded by some great photos of Hollywood legends. English owned - The highlight is playing Drunken Jenga, which im sure you can imagine what it is like. Occasionally a live band will play in the back garden area and it also has a pool table.

I had a very good transfer from the airport to Ferragudo - just me in a minibus and very cheap. Think I must have been lucky there were no other people coming this wasy. It was booked over the internet through www.airport-transfers-algarve.co.uk.

Favorite thing: Taking in the fish restaurants along the harbour. Sitting in the main sqaure with a Sagres, watching the world go by. And the Main beach is wonderful.
Fondest memory: Dancing on the beach to a live reggae band.
Singing and dancing along to the live music in the bar whose courtyard opens onto the harbour (sorry, can't remember the name, it was that good a night!)
Being shown how to choose a suitable fish at the Sueste restauarant.
