Alvor is a quiet fishing village located in the area of the Algarve. There are many restaurants and bars situated along the promenade and around the harbour. The resort does have one disco but if you are looking for somewhere a bit livelier at night you could take a taxi to neighbouring Praia da Rocha.

A popular activity for both residents and tourists is cycling. The flat, clear roads make for perfect conditions and it is a great way to explore the village and the different landscapes. It is also a great place for those who enjoy walking and there are many tracks so that people can get to see a lot of the resort on foot. Horse riding is also popular here and there are many centres which provide lessons and treks for beginners and the more experienced rider.

For the more active, there are many tennis courts where it is possible to either hire or purchase tennis equipment. Sticking with the sporting theme, there are tons of golf courses in the region, many of which are in Alvor. There are 30 courses already with even more planned for the future. Golf is very popular here and many people come from all over the world to enjoy the beautiful courses.
