Things to do in Porches

Porches Pottery

Porches Pottery is Algarve's pottery paradise. Founded back in 1968 as a way to preserve the art of hand-painting pottery. Come here to discover a great variety of beautiful and unique ceramic pieces.

Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Rocha

The chapel of Nossa Senhora da Rocha is well worth a visit for its enchanting location. The fort is set on top of stunning cliffs overlooking the impressive Atlantic ocean and the gorgeous beaches, Praia Nova and Senhora da Rocha.

Praia Nova

Along the coastline of Porches there are several nice beaches, my favorite spot is Praia Nova. A lesser-known beach with fewer crowds, set by beautiful cliffs with a view on the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Rocha.
