people found this review helpful

Very good, worth the money, though as it is normally at around midday, there isn't a cloud in the sky! So watch out bring a hat and plenty suncream! Lots of good photo moments! More

After having read the many great reviews on Tripadvisor I had already preselected 2 trips (Silves and Coastal) before coming to Portugal.

As we had never been to Alvor before, we enjoyed discovering things. One was the boardwalk which is situated from the harbour to the beginning of the estuary, a walk of say 10 - 15 mins.
