The Algarve Region

Enclosed by ranges of hills to the North, the Algarve has a climate, culture and scenery very different from the rest of Portugal. Its stunning coastline and year round mild weather, maintained by warm sea and air currents from nearby North Africa, make it one of the most popular holiday destinations in southern Europe. Many visitors head for the blue sea, the fine golden sands framed by cliffs and rocks or the pretty fishing villages and manicured golf courses of the south coast.The most southwesterly tip of Europe, the Algarve is a haven of beautiful sandy beaches, sleepy traditional fishing villages, world class golf courses, untouched mountain towns, international marinas and year round sunshine.

For thousands of years it has been a much favoured area, with a colourful history. Once a kingdom in its own right, the Algarve has seen invasions by the Phoenicians, Romans and Moors, been the starting point for great explorations, and now is a wonderful place for you and your family to come and visit.

 

Alvor Area

Originally a fishing village , Alvor retains much of its charm , with narrow cobbled streets and narrow terraced houses running down to the quayside.

Fish restaurants line the quayside and the smell of the barbeques will lead you in the right direction. Many resturants are scattered throughout the Village from expensive cuisine to budget family meals. From Portuguese to the familiar Chinese and Indian.

There are also a number of very friendly bars where you can enjoy a cocktail while you are entertained or even try your hand at karaoke.

If you want to eat...

Fancy barbequed fish ? The Village of Alvor is the place to be. Walk down towards the harbour and you will be greeted by the hustle and bustle of lively restaurants with enormous charcoal barbeques.

Or if you want to eat good food, you will find an excellent choice of Portuguese, Chinese, Indian, Italian and international restaurants, with excellent cuisine at unbelievably affordable prices.

And for some light entertainment there are numerous bars, some quiet where you can join the locals, some with resident musicians and in the main street are one or two karaoke bars.

Cooking in ?

Every day (except Sunday) there is a lively market in the old centre of Alvor with fresh vegetables and fish.

Golf

A championship 18 hole golf course designed by Sir Henry Cotton is a par 72 layout measuring 6125 metres and is spread over two undulating valleys 10 minute walk from the apartment. It is testing for low handicap players and provides an enjoyable game for the average club player
