The Alvor Parish Church is the symbol of the Manueline style in the Algarve. Built in the 1620s, the Alvor Parish Church has the most beautiful Manueline portico in the region, decorated with motifs alluding to fauna and flora, war scenes and religious symbols. Inside, the 18th century tiles stand out, as well as the rich images present on the six gilded altars. Here you can also find the famous and miraculous image of the “Lord Jesus”, which according to legend washed ashore and was placed on the altar by the fishermen of Alvor.
Opening hours: Open every day:
From 1 October to 30 April, from 8:30 am to 9:30 pm.

Alvor Fishing Harbour

Highlight • Structure

Alvor's fishing port is located on the banks of the Ria de Alvor, near the old village center. It's a small, charming harbor where traditional fishing boats still dock daily. You often see fishermen at work, and the harbor is surrounded by cozy fish restaurants and terraces overlooking the lagoon. It's an authentic place that perfectly reflects Alvor's maritime character.

Alvor Estuary

Highlight • River

The Ria de Alvor is a protected nature reserve in the Algarve, on the southern coast of Portugal, between Portimão and Lagos. It consists of a lagoon with dunes, mudflats, and salt marshes and is rich in birds and other wildlife. It is a popular spot for hiking, birdwatching, and kayaking, with boardwalks crisscrossing the area. The nearby fishing village of Alvor adds to its charm, offering a combination of nature and beach.

Rock Passage to Caniço Beach

Highlight • Beach

The rock restaurant Canico is hidden. You have to know that "back there" is still something special. At this point, a narrow rock passage leads across the sandy beach. After that you have two options: around the rocks through the water or through a small rock tunnel. is really adventurous, but really "safe".
