Are you a fan of walkways and visiting the Algarve? Then you can't miss (and walk) the fantastic Alvor Walkways, the largest walkways in the Algarve and one of the greatest pearls in the municipality of Portimão.

The walkways are around 6 km long, and connect Praia dos Três Irmãos to the wonderful Ria de Alvor, one of our favorite corners of the western Algarve. Between Praia dos Três Irmãos and the Praia do Alvor jetty, the walkways always follow the sea, along the dune cord, and provide the walker with beautiful views of the sea and the undulating dunes. The total distance of the Alvor Walkways is 6 km, but if you choose to do a round trip, and decide to walk through all the walkways that cross the dune and salt marsh area of the Ria de Alvor, you will have to travel approximately 12 km.

We started and ended the walk at Praia dos Três Irmãos (you can also start at Ria de Alvor) and went to the Praia do Alvor lighthouse and then headed towards the ria where we walked along the most emblematic walkways over the dunes and salt marshes. In total we covered around 9 km and covered the entire route in three hours, calmly, stopping often to take photographs and enjoy the landscape.
