Fuente Agria, situated on the outskirts of the village. There is a parking area with picnic tables etc, a small chapel, or 'Ermita', and a spring from which emerges health restoring but sour tasting water. Below this there is a small gorge, where you can see how the iron in the water has stained the surrounding rock faces orange. A set of steps has been made down into the gorge.
A trek up from the village (90 minutes walking or you can drive if you take the track by the 'Farmacia') will lead you to the 'Junto de Los Rios' and the 'Area Recreativa de Pórtugos.' This is a beautiful spot where two rivers meet and make an impressive waterfall.
A picnic area with tables and barbeque zones have been created and some steps now lead down to the foot of the waterfall. Impressive views from here across the valley.
Also, Pórtugos has three main fiestas: a cultural one during the first week of August where local arts including dramatic presentations are displayed - of particular interest is the demonstration of 'La Parva' where a mule can be seen threshing the wheat as in time gone by; a religious one early in October when the Virgin Rosario is taken from her place in the Ermita and paraded around the streets - accompanied by a phenomenal number of fireworks considering the small population of this village; and another for San Sebastian in January.
