Coast/Beach
Some of the best beaches on the Algarve are around the Alvor area. Alvor beach is only a 20 mins walk away and is a massive wide open beach, popular with wind surfers and good for other water sports as well. Then there is Praia da Rocha which is a huge beach with acres of wideopen sand right infront of Praia da Rocha's seafront road. At the western end of the seafront road is Praia do Vau where there is easy access from a car parking area. Others include Prainha, Joao de Arens and Tres Irmaos.

Golf
The Algarve is one of the top destinations for golfers from all over the world and our apartment is right in the middle of some of the best. The Alto Golf course and country club is just 10 mins walk away. It was opened in 1991 and was designed by Sir Henry Cotton. It has a driving range, buggies, Club hire, trolley and power trolley hire and they offer excellent tuition. The Penina Golf Course is also nearby, a 5-10 min drive, and was also designed by Sir Henry Cotton. It is famous for its 13th hole and has a bar, pro shop and showers in the hotel. Other courses nearby are Boavista Golf, Pinta, Palmares, Pestana and Gramacho.

Travel
Alvor is a quick 50km (only 45 mins) from Faro international airport. Lisbon is approx 3 hrs drive away. We would recommend you hire a car to fully appreciate the natural beauty of the Algarve's beaches, countryside and other main points of interest, although taxis are very cheap and plentiful. There are many car hire companies such as Hertz and Europcar at Faro airport, or hiring a car on the internet is just as good. We can recommend Holidayautos. Taxi transfers can be arranged on request.

Distances
Alvor is the nearest village with all amenities including a small food market and is a 2 mins drive away or 20 mins walk. Portimao is the nearest town, about 10 mins drive, with many big shops and shopping centres, banks and supermarkets, it also has a large food market and other markets for clothes, shoes and handicrafts. 24km north of Portimao lies the Monchique mountains, drive up in to the tiny villages then walk upto the top to enjoy the views over the Algarve.

Further details
The nearest mini market is just across the road where there are also a paper shop, snack bars a dentist and a hair salon. There is a shop at the top of the road that opens early selling fresh bread etc and closes when it has sold out. Many restaurants are found along the main road back down into Alvor all within walking distance. The Por Do Sol restaurant is only a 10 min stroll from the apartment and offers excellent cuisine with attentive staff, at very reasonable prices. Alvor itself has a big selection of shops, bars and restaurants (the fish restaurants down by the harbour are fantastic) and is great for an evening out. There is a hospital and petrol station nearby and banks in Alvor and Portimao. Near the harbour in Alvor there is a new sports centre which has an Astroturf football pitch, tennis courts and a 25m indoor swimming pool.The new Portuguese F1 track has been built and is only 20 mins drive from the apartment.
