Alvor is a picturesque town close to Portimão in the Algarve. This beautiful and charming town conserves most of its Moorish historic roots due to the fact that the whole region was under Moorish occupation for many centuries. An example of those Moorish roots can be found in its name - Alvor - which is still very similar to the old Moorish one: Al-Bûr.
Alvor would only be conquered by the Portuguese in the year of 1189 when the armies of king D. Sancho I were finally able to take Alvor’s Castle. The Castle is still there along with its lovely medieval churches.
This fishing village with its maritime roots is profoundly religious. Located on the western part of the south coast of Portugal, Alvor’s main economic activities are fishing, catering, commerce and tourism. The traditional white washed houses, narrow streets and Alvor’s river make for a relaxed holiday destination.
