Parish of Portimão launches a new mobile application

App can be downloaded for free.

The Parish of Portimão has a new application for mobile phones, intended to promote, «more and better, local commerce, restaurants and hotels, as well as to make known places of great natural beauty and monuments, which due to their historical importance and architecture stand out in the city panorama».

According to that local authority, the great novelty of this application is the introduction of audio guides at tourist points.

The download of the InFreguesia Portimão application, already available on the Android platform and, soon, also for IOS, can be done by clicking here.

With this application, users «have a wide range of information about points of interest to visit», in addition to «contact with public entities and/or services will be facilitated», explains the Parish Council of Portimão.

The application presents information about local businesses, restaurants and hotels, the location of ATMs, nearest pharmacies, public services, hospital waiting lines, in real time, among others.

It also includes timetables and routes around the city of the “Vai e Vem” urban bus network, as well as a link to the main online newspapers in the region, with emphasis on the Sul Informação.

«In times of pandemic, and with the need to adapt to a new reality, this application results in yet another support tool, fully produced in the IT services of the Parish Council of Portimão, using free open source tools», explains the autarchy.

Traders, tour operators and service providers, who have not yet done so, will be able to fill in the registration form which is available by clicking here and thus be part of this project, seeing your business published in the application's commerce tab.

Álvaro Bila, president of the Parish Council of Portimão, explained to the Sul Informação that the application was developed "entirely with our resources and with our computers".
