Alvor

Built around a sheltered fishing harbour beside the Alvor estuary, Alvor grew into a small resort town on Portugal’s Algarve coast. The Ria de Alvor, a broad tidal lagoon of salt marshes and dunes, meets long Atlantic beaches here, while boardwalks trace parts of the shore. Fishing boats and seafood restaurants still connect the town to its maritime roots. In the centre, the 16th-century Igreja Matriz de Alvor is known for its Manueline portal; King John II of Portugal died in Alvor in 1495.
