  • It would appear that a local custom in Alvor, is for all the dogs to come out at night and find a nice patch of sand to sleep on!

    We saw this sight one night when looking for a restaurant, and heading towards where there are some high rise buildings.

     The dogs are strays. Its Alvor custom to feed and to vet them..At night, people feed them and sometimes people throw rocks at them. We were here for 2 weeks and passed the dogs every day. They are just looking for a meal and somewhere cool to sleep.....
