The historic destination of Montes de Alvor is a good choice if you’ve been considering a getaway with your children. The castle and scuba-diving are just a couple of things that make this an attractive spot for a family holiday. Fly into Portimao (PRM), which is the closest airport, or Faro (FAO-Faro Intl.), which is located 34.7 mi (55.8 km) from the city centre.
