The Algarve / West Algarve region

Alvor is a fishing village located 5 km west from Portimão, it became an important port during the time of the Moorish occupation. It once had its own castle, which was destroyed by the earthquake of November 1st 1755. Originally built by the Carthaginians in 436 AD, it was attacked and plundered by the Christian Crusaders in 1189.
What to see: The village itself is a maze of cobbled streets. There you can visit a 16th-century parish church with a fine Manueline portal featuring a round arch and abstract floral motifs.
As well as Alvor beach itself, there are some lovely golden stretches of sand towards Portimão, most notably the small beach of Praia dos Três Irmãos with its magnificent red cliffs. Further east are the deserted caves and grottoes of João de Areus and the quiet, secluded beach of Praia do Vau nearby. Further east, the bustling fishing port of Portimão has many good restaurants and plenty of night-life.

The Alvor area

The Algarve & Alvor: The Algarve has a temperate climate almost all year round and boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year. The tourist season extends from March to October and it only really quiets down in the dead of winter. The wonderful sandy beaches of the Algarve are unspoiled and amongst the finest in the world. Away from the tourist hub, explore the quaint unspoiled villages with their narrow cobbled streets, the Ria de Alvor, the majestic Serra de Monchique or the rugged beauty of the South Westerly tip of Europe, Sagres and Cape St Vincent. Water sports such as swimming, snorkeling and big-game fishing are popular along the Algarve coast, as are boat trips exploring the caves and grottoes. Several water parks and theme parks will ensure that the children never get bored.

Local food: Local markets sell an abundance of goods at bargain prices. Restaurants and bars vie for business and the food is delicious and served in huge quantities. Most restaurants have charcoal grills, turning out some of the best barbecued food you're ever likely to taste, such as freshly caught fish, chicken piri-piri and mouth-watering steaks and kebabs. Enjoy cheap local wines, jug full of Sangria and freshly squeezed local orange juice.

Golf: The surrounding area is a golfers paradise with the Championship course at Penina, Alto and Gramacho all within a 5-10 minute drive and over 25 top class courses within one hours drive. The first golf course to be built in the Algarve, the Championship Course of Penina is considered to be the masterpiece of Sir Henry Cotton. It hosted several of the Portuguese Open Championships. Penina also features two nine hole loops: The Resort Course and The Academy Course.

“Well located, great views, quiet and spacious” We had a one bedroom apartment on this complex for a week in June. The bedroom only had single beds but the property was quite spacious, the kitchen well equipped (except no potato peeler or collander!) and there was a large lounge with a dining area. There was a dish washer and a washing machine and TV with BBC World news and CNN. The balcony was lovely and overlooked the pool and the river. Our apartment was in the shade until the afternoon but this was OK in June as it would have been too hot in the daytime sun. It caught the evening sun and sunset beautifully and we had drinks and evening meals out there most nights. The apartment was a short walk to the town, the river estuary nature reserve (with a long new wooden walkway) and to the beach, all 4 miles of it with amazing rock formations at the far end. Booking was straightforward but they don't accept credit cards and you need a bank transfer for half the cost as a deposit and the rest in cash on arrival. This wasn't a problem for us. All in all this was a very nice apartment, Alvor is a pleasant little town, well located for visiting both east and west of the Algarve coast and well supplied with bars and restaurants. Portugal was very good value, beer wine and eating out was not expensive. We had a car for exploring but it would have been easy to manage without a car once you were there. Caldas de Monchique inland and up the mountains was well worth a visit. Try Alvor and Clube Alvor Rias - I don't think you'd be disappointed!
