Things to do in Alvor
Alvor is a small estuary village between Portimão and Lagos with an outsized boat scene.
Dolphin trips and cave boats leave from the wooden jetty, and the boardwalk over the estuary is worth an hour on its own.
It is close enough to Portimão that you can compare departures from both before you book.
