Fishing town
traditionally visited for peaceful weekend breaks and
summer holidays. Today Garrucha shares its port activity,
commercial as well as recreational, with its tourist
development and public services. The old appearance of
the one story houses along the Promenade has given way
to a new urban configuration with a large number of restaurants
offering the highest quality seafood.
