Very, very nice. Spot on. We stayed in a holiday let about a mile from the harbour (up a bloody big hill) 3-4 years ago. As long as you’ve got a car it’s fantastic.
Fuengirola, Torremolinos and other nearby ‘resorts’ are colossal shitholes by comparison.
Thanks.......it’s an annual golf trip for us (all oldies) so all we’re interested in is an easy life, nice weather and golf and decent restaurants close by. Even the ‘delights’ that can easily be found in Vilamoura are too much for our lot these days........Alvor ticks every box.
Hoping to do something slightly similar in April. Have only booked flights so far (in and out of San Fran) so need to get on with sorting it.........Yosemite, Vegas, Hoover, Grand Canyon on the wish list at the moment. Already been to San Diego (lovely), LA (absolute dump, horrendous traffic)...
Interesting and you're spot on - we actually stayed on Isla Mujeres for a holiday - it was fantastic. Nothing like Cancun at all..................quiet and peaceful and no drunk American college kids. You can hire a golf buggy to zip around on.
Completely agree re Chitzen Itza too - one of, if...
