What to do in Alvor, Portugal<\/h2>\n\n

Alvor beaches and rock formations: beautiful, immense and natural<\/h3>\n\n

The beaches at Alvor<\/strong> are clearly among the most pleasant surprises of the holiday. We didn’t expect to find such a vast expanse of sand and such beautiful beaches in this part of the Algarve. <\/p>\n\n

\n

We also found the seafront less concrete<\/strong> than in other Algarve villages.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Compared with some of the region’s more urbanized resorts, such as Arma\u00e7\u00e3o de P\u00eara, where houses run directly along the beach.<\/p>\n\n

A little linguistic point: the Portuguese word for beach is Praia<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
