The Algarve Region
The Algarve region and Western Algarve in particular is famous for its climate (typically at least 300 days sunshine per year), stunning beaches and golf courses. Alvor beach offers miles of golden sand, while towards Portimao there are many unspoilt coves,most notably the small cove of Praia dos Tres Irmaos with its stunning red cliffs. Further east can be found deserted caves and grottos at Joao de Areus.
Alvor Area
Alvor has been described by some as "Dingle in the sun!" Fishermen can be seen at dawn bringing in their catch or standing on the shore drawing in their nets. The harbour area remains unspoilt and is very pretty. It offers a fantastic selection of excellent and reasonably priced restaurants to suit all tastes and it is heaven for seafood lovers. The cobbled streets of Alvor have cafes and bars and a good variety of shops selling local leather goods,linens, jewellery,and crafts. Those who require more serious retail therapy can find a greater selection in the shopping centres in nearby Portimao or Praia do Rocha.
Praia do Rocha also offers lots of nightlife options with its pubs, clubs and casinos for those who like to stay up til dawn! It is a short taxi ride from the apartment (6 mins. approx.) and taxis are reasonably priced in the Alvor area. There are many activities and excursions available eg. the Slide and Splash Aquapark, Zoomarine, the Swimming with Dolphins experience and watersports are available on the larger beaches. There are guided cliffs walks from Vau beach to Alvor, or early morning yoga sessions on the beach can also be organised locally. Details of a range of activities and telephone numbers of taxis are available in the apartment.
This property is ideally located for the golf entheusiast, as the apartment is adjacent to the driving range. The 18-hole golf course at Alto was the last to be designed by Sir Henry Cotton, English golfing legend and triple winner of the British Open.
