Porches : Holiday Accommodation
The tranquil beach holiday resort of Porches, nestled in orange groves on the Algarve coast, is adored by visitors for its natural beauty and fascinating historic attractions. Situated west of Albufeira, the town offers the best of both worlds for those seeking sun and relaxation as well as interesting cultural diversions.
With its golden sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs and traditional architecture, it is no surprise that a package holiday to Porches promises one of the most photogenic destinations in Portugal. The quaint, whitewashed cottages and narrow cobbled streets are a delight to explore, and the town's relaxed, low-key street cafés and restaurants offer tastes and choices to suit everyone.
The town is most famous for its clay pits where inhabitants of Porches have been handcrafting pottery for centuries. The practice is still alive today, letting souvenir hunters visit local workshops to chat with artisans and purchase exquisite hand-painted ceramics in traditional and modern styles.
A Porches holiday will also be of particular appeal to history buffs, who will be intrigued by the region's long and colourful history. The area has been inhabited by man since the Neolithic Age, and an ancient stone monolith over 6000 years old can even be viewed in the local art centre's garden entrance.
