Fantastic deals on Alvor holidays

Alvor was once a quiet coastal village, and has now become a fashionable holiday destination. However, this growth in tourism hasn’t meant an increase in buildings as this is minimal and has been done in keeping with the historical buildings.

Most of Alvor’s streets are lines with small bars and cafes as well as restaurants. The smaller streets however, are also worth exploring as they retain the charm of the old fishing village that once was there.

The village itself looks over a stunning natural lagoon which then opens onto the sea. Running along the sea is the sandy beach, and some smaller coves which are secluded underneath the cliffs.

The beautiful Parish Church is a great example of the culture of the village and it’s past. Built in 16th Century it was nearly destroyed by an earthquake in 1755, and was been rebuilt in a similar style.

Alvor holidays would not be complete without a visit to some of the other resorts close-by. Within close proximity of this beautiful village are a number of other resorts which have many attractions and facilities which are worth visiting. The commercial town of Portimão is a shopper’s paradise, and the popular sandy beaches of Praia da Rocha and Praia da Vau are also near.

Alvor is a perfect place to relax and unwind in a sun-drenched location. However, it is not a place that is exclusive, and there are hotels and packages to suit every budget - from a luxurious holiday to a cheap holiday. Algarve holidays are available for everyone!
