Alvor, Algarve’s Anicent Coastal Village

Alvor, is one of Algarve’s ancient coastal villages and a very popular holiday spot with narrow streets that have retained its own identity throughout the years. With tons of great restaurants and bars in the old street, including a Caipirinha’s bar called Bolans Bar, which plays salsa, soul, reggae and funk music (a favourite of ours), Alvor is a highly attractive place to visit, if you’re vacationing near Portimao.

We invite you to see Alvor through the lenses of publikaccion a photographer that we came across on flickr. The following photos have been shot by him.
