Alvor is a very traditional picturesque Portuguese fishing village with a lovely harbour and wonderful 4.5 km. stretch of wide, clean, safe and sandy beach. The easterly end of the beach at 'Tres Irmaos' is backed cliffs and caves of which the Algarve is well known. Alvor now has a wide waterfront promenade with lots of excellent restaurants and bars where one sit and watch the fishing boats. The area is also a golfer's paradise with many of the Algarve's famous courses nearby, nearest are Alto, Penina, Boa Vista, Morgado and Palmaris. Nearby resorts of Lagos and Praia da Rocha are just a few minutes drive or taxi ride away, as is the lovely Marina of Portimao. Enjoy a trip to Monchique Mountains to enjoy the spectacular views, a days shopping at the Algarve Shopping Centre or the nearby waterparks.
