Alvor

Beautiful sandy beaches, dramatic honeycomb cliffs, secluded coves and warm temperatures year round make the Algarve a favourite with discerning holidaymakers.

There are resorts to suit all tastes, whether you are looking for a sophisticated location with excellent sports facilities, or a quiet fishing village of whitewashed houses where fishermen can be seen mending their nets.

The huge sandy beach at Praia de Alvor stretches as far as the eye can see, while Alvor, itself, has an array of pretty white-washed houses, narrow cobbled streets, bars with live music and charming harbour-side seafood restaurants barbequing freshly-caught fish and seafood.
