Percent Map travel guide (2026-09-20): Grilled Sardines and Local Charm in Portimão

Last summer, a waft of grilled sardines lured me from the beach to an old port where I savored two fresh sandwiches filled with smoky fish rubbed in garlic and olive oil. The town came alive with reenacted fishing celebrations and lively music as locals and tourists alike joined in the festive spirit. As September basks in warm +22°C sunshine, head over for a taste of this delightful seafood treat and the vibrant local atmosphere it brings.
