Altura is in the cheaper region of the Algarve, the Eastern Algarve where eating out is at least 30% cheaper than the West and the price for a large beer in the local bars is still only 2 euro. Altura is between the historical town of Tavira (15 km) and Monte Gordo (3 km). A little piece of paradise with its beautiful, white, sandy beach. Altura is a get away from it all friendly, Portuguese village/town with enough restaurants and local bars to suit all without losing its charm. For those looking for a bit more, Monte Gordo is only a couple of km's down the road, with its Casino for those with a penchant for a little flutter. Just 5km from Altura is the town of Villa Real de Santo Antonio with its big square and lovely harbour where you can take a boat up the river for a wonderful day out or the ferry over to enjoy the beaches of Spain. For Golf enthusiasts there are 5 fine Golf Courses all within 20 minutes drive
