Armação de Pera - History
Not very long ago this town 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. (Visit - Portugal History)
Armação de Pera - Description
Nowadays, the town 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 Pera has been mainly to the west with the creation of
several holiday apartment complexes above the very charming beaches of
Senhora da Rocha.
