The Algoz River (Portuguese pronunciation: [alˈɣɔʃ]) is a small river in the south central region of the Algarve, Portugal, which rises near the village of Tunes and passes through the town of Algoz, the seat of the civil parish of Algoz e Tunes.[1][2] The river is a tributary of the Alcantarilha River and runs for a distance of 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi) from its source to its conflux with the Alcantarilha River.
