Alvor, Portugal, is a quiet coastal village. Historians can't say for sure when it sprung, but there is data proving that in about 700 A.D. the today's village was a rather important and a rich port that even had its own currency. Now little in Alvor reminds of its great past. The village seems to be tired of its bygone power and fame. No more noisy Romans heading to a wealthy villa some miles away from Alvor can be heard in the village. No more rowdies and sailors who used to sing songs breaking the night silence of the calm Portuguese pueblo.
