The fishing village of Alvor is located at the riveroutlet of Rio Alvor.

Despite a steady development since the beginning of tourism in the 1960´s (especially on the east side), the buildings are mainly low and Alvor retains it´s charm with the narrow cobblestone streets leading down to the harbor at the lagoon. The riverbank in Alvor is lined with palm trees and several nice beach bars with spacious outdoor cafés where you can enjoy the endless summerdays of the Algarve. The riverbank must be one of Alvor´s most idyllic environments. Here you can see the fishingboats coming and going while enjoying grilled fresh fish at one of the many restaurants.
Alvors largest beach, Praia de Alvor, is only a short walk away and is a long sandy beach with sanddunes. The eastern end ogf the beach, which offers some protection from some large rock formations is called Praia de Três Irmãos. There are also several hotels on this side of town. Even at the height of the season, there is plenty of space on the beach for you to lie down and relax. If you want a good lunch, there are several restaurants and snackbars along both beaches.
