Sandwiched between Ria de Alvor estuary on one side and Praia de Alvor beach on the other, Alvor is a perfect destination for a beach vacation. Alvor is a picturesque town in a typical Portuguese fashion - whitewashed cottages sit along narrow cobblestone streets and colourful fishing boats line the banks. Around the town are many golf courses, parks and other activities to make your trip fun. If you are a keen birdwatcher, you can head to Alvor Boardwalk. The walk takes you through different landscapes and you can spot many birds here. To enjoy a beautiful beach and feast your eyes on the majestic rock formations here, visit Praia dos Três Irmãos.
