10 Sights & Landmarks in Portimao That You Shouldn't Miss
Portimao is a sailor’s delight, thanks to its calm waters and beautiful conditions. Plenty of elite international competitions happen here, but you don’t have to be a professional to set sail. Cruising the coast on the double-masted Santa Bernarda pirate ship is a family favorite. On dry land, you can wander the lovely Alvor boardwalk, enjoy a succulent seafood meal or zip around the go-kart track at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve.

You find the race track set on a private road heading towards Monchique.. We couldnt get in to the race track as Porche was testing their new electric cars..... However the Go Karting track was open... this was awesome.. 3 different tracks to choose from and it was quiet when we was there, so we had it to ourselves... Mint.... HAd a great time... we did 15 / 20 mins which cost us just 27euros.... great fun.... have to come back to see a F1 race...... great location... ON Monchique you can see the race track set in the valley looking towards Portimao.....

If you are visiting Alvor you must visit the old church. If you walk up walking-/Restaurantstreet you'll arrive at a small Square were many old portuguese men meet. Take a left turn, walk up the street to the old street. Enter the church and look at the beatiful altar, paintings etc. DO NOT FORGET - leaving a coin or bill in the collection box!!

Visitors to Alvor could easily miss this place and if they did that would be a shame. The cemetery is a fascinating place full of beautiful headstones and interesting crypts. Touching tributes, written and photographic abound make this the sort of attraction you could lose yourself for an hour or more. We had the place to ourselves when we visited which added to the feeling of peace and tranquillity. A great place to come to get a break from the beach!
