Latest Alvor hotel reviews
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Toward the middle of june all the mozzys or some type of fly hatch and they can be a little bit of a pain so remember to get some repellent and for a couple of days eat inside the restaurants, as they seem to be worse at dusk. I don't get bitten but it was a nuisance when they wanted to share my food because i won't even do that with my husband!!

Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: We always bring a backpack when we go to the beach as it affords us a place to store the camera and extra water out of the sun.
It even makes a good pillow.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Good sturdy shoes if you are going to climb on all the rocks here or if you are going into the hills. Bring some sandals or buy some at the local market, as the sand gets real hot during the summer.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Most meds can be found at the local Pharmacies and can be had without a prescription.
You will also find that meds are very cheep here. You will pay more in the tourist towns but it will still be cheaper than at home.
Photo Equipment: You are better to use a disposable camera, as the sand is everywhere.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Always bring a towel and something to block the sun.
Miscellaneous: WATER WATER WATER... I can never say it enough to people that are traveling.
