Armação de Pêra - History
Not very long ago this town was once nothing more than a collection of small shacks where the local residents from the nearby town 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 beach side huts later fell under the protection of a small 18th Century fort that still remains in part to this day.

Armação de Pêra - Description
Nowadays, the town is mainly composed of blocks of holiday apartments with many bars and restaurants on the ground floor. In the three summer months the town overflows with tourists but out of top of the season it offers a wonderful peaceful holiday location. Meanwhile the nearby rural village of Pera is now a reminder of the unspoilt typical sleepy Algarve. Boasting one of the finest longest sandy beaches in the Algarve this is a popular beach resort for tourists. On the beach close to the eastern side of the town are a number of fish restaurants that pride themselves on the fresh fish that is served. Happily, the major area behind this beach is still partly a protected zone against development of any kind. The actual spread of building from Armação de Pera has been to the west with the creation of many holiday apartment complexes above the charming beaches of Senhora da Rocha.
