Alvor is a picturesque fisherman's village in the Portuguese Algarve with probably the most beautiful sandy beaches of the Algarve.
Since Summer 2007 there is also a very good network of city-buses that connects Alvor every 20 min with the centre of Portimão and with the beaches of Alvor, Praia da Rocha and Praia do Vau,
Inland you find at about 25 km the 'Serra de Monchique', with the highest peak in the Algarve, Foia at 902 m (2960 feet)
