I'm Paula! I was born and raised in the Algarve, I love to live here and show you how people's daily life is lived, to stimulate curiosity and to satisfy the desire for adventure and discovery of this small Province located in the South of Portugal. With a special predilection for tourism, I worked as a Tour Guide for years in my country, and later on decided to work around the world aboard the Transatlantic Cruise Line - "Crystal Cruises", together with Carlos; that was a wonderful and comprehensive experience. Nowadays it is with the greatest pleasure that we welcome the Guests who express the interest to book with us! Be welcome!

Praia da Rocha ("Rock Beach") is a beach and built up area on the Atlantic Ocean in the southern section of the concelho of Portimão, Algarve, southern Portugal. Located next to the mouth of the River Arade, with an huge beach stretching for over a kilometer and sheltered by attractive, craggy cliffs in warm colors is the reason why Rocha Beach is one of the best-known beaches in Portugal and a top choice among summer holiday makers. Practically the whole beach is criss-crossed by walkways, alongside which there are many different support infrastructures for beachgoers, including a sports area. Up on the seafront avenue, there is a succession of hotels, bars, open-air cafés and a casino, all eventually leading up to Portimão Marina and providing an array of tourist activities that bring added colour and complement the entertainment on the beach. There are two elevated viewpoints at the far ends of the beach, "Três Castelos" to the west and the "Santa Catarina Fortress" at the entrance to the harbour on the River Arade. Both afford fabulous panoramic views over the coastline between "Ponta João d’Arens" and "Ponta do Altar". Despite the fact that this is a busy town beach popular with tourists, Rocha is so impressive and beautiful that its natural scenery still seems to come to the fore. Please note: Given the risk of landslides and loose stones falling on to the beach, you are advised to keep a safe distance from the cliffs.
